The old page didn't say it was removed in POSIX.1-2001.

	       Removed  in  glibc 2.33.  4.2BSD, POSIX.1‐2001.  Removed
	       in POSIX.1‐2008.

	       This function is obsolete.  Don’t use it.  If  the  time
	       in  seconds  suffices,  time(2)  can be used; gettimeof‐
	       day(2)  gives   microseconds;   clock_gettime(2)   gives
	       nanoseconds but is not as widely available.

However, I agree that the order of the text could be confusing.  I like
yours better, but how about moving 4.2BSD to the begining to improve it
further?

Oops, I must have interpreted that period as a comma.

I agree re-ordering will make it more clear, so I sent a new patch [1].

I realize now after sending it that the commit message should be
s/STANDARDS/HISTORY/ though...
