On thinking further...

The word 'current' means different things in different contexts. If I 
refer to my current O/S it means the one I'm using now, but it may not 
be current.  The second use of 'current' is the meaning you are thinking 
of, but the first is not. Since people reading documented code are 
focused on understanding technical aspects, they may miss this subtlety.

I'm aware that standardisation may meet with some resistance, but being 
consistent might reduce the conceptual impedance when reading the code.  
I'm just trying to reduce the potential for confusion.
