The problem is that 12.04 is a five-year LTS. I suggest that we fix errata in 12.04 as we find them, but build and release the revised manual only occasionally --- say, every month at first, and thereafter only when the number of revised errata is significant. In particular, release an updated version the day before 12.04.1 is released, as --- I believe --- it will coincide with a marketing push. (The first point-release is usually much more stable than the initial release. I have been told that businesses wanting a high level of reliability and stability are advised to wait for the first point-release before upgrading.) The scheduled release date for 12.04.1 is August 23rd. Such errata would not be significant for in-between releases, which are supported for 18 months, are not expected to be kept for a long time, and are not recommended for those needing high stability.
