I realize I am saying two different things. One, I can generate
camera-ready copy with updated manual pages and updated text quite
easily for each release. Second, I was saying that the changes are
minor for about 1-2 years, then it gets to be you have to add stuff all
over the place.
Not sure how this will play out in reality.
