[META] Should we (continue to) allow retro/vintage ads for products that are still available? (sh.itjust.works)

There has been concern that if an ad is for a product someone can still purchase today then it is more an ad, and less something retro/vintage.

Anyone have any thoughts either way? I may do a poll.

Edit: This appears pretty conclusive. There will be no changes at this time. Some have mentioned the lack of hard timeframe but until that becomes an obvious issue is prefer to keep it vague.

I think they should be allowed. Retro/Vintage is a theme. We still buy gasoline, but there's always vintage gas pumps in antique shops and they're cool to see. Same with vintage coke products.
