Why a killing of trees for a manual that changes daily and can be on the

in a set of pages that are a manual for a constantly changing and
unestablished computer programming language. Can't yaz save the trees and
offer it for sale on the web to anyone who wants to pay for it? It's easy
to setup a PayPal website (though I think D is far from that if ever). I
don't see this thing selling in bookstores. A hard copy of an already
obsolete specification? If it's just charitable contribution from long
time afficionados, why not just .org and ask for contributions and not
kill trees?
This might actually be a good point. I have a thought or 2 about it. A reason
to save trees:
- TDPL is changing, true, and online format is much easier to update,
navigate, search, and eco friendly. TDPL would be obsolete (for current version
of language) before it is published.
When TDPL is published D2 will be frozen. That's the whole point.
