How are superseded Qdb qualifiers handled?
This feature was removed by AutoCare, but still supported by AceMapper until NewQualifierID is removed from the Qdb (in ACES 5.0).
When a qualifier is superseded, it is replaced with a new qualifier. The old qualifier is not deleted, but is marked as superseded. The old qualifier is given a NewQualifierID that points to the new qualifier.
When you import a superseded qualifier, any applications or maps the uses the old qualifier are automatically updated to use the new one. Also, searching for qualifiers will filter out any with a NewQualifierID.
