Sorry to ask a dumb question, but has there been any actionable edits or changes made from 'public feedback'? Did we get any feedback from 12.04? Getting any user/reader feedback is a good thing, but I also think our efforts would be better served focusing on soliciting user comments BEFORE rather than AFTER publication.
Just my 2 cents. And I, too, agree with Joel, the 2nd edition of the manual should focus on 12.04 and have NO 12.10 references, and as a result, the two manuals will be dissimilar.
