They may think they don't, but they probably do.  The -dev version of
the book is appropriate until the corresponding version of blfs is
released.  In the last cycle, that took quite a long time.  As a rule of
thumb, when using lfs-x.y, use blfs-dev until blfs-x.y is released.

Currently, there is no way to go back and change released books.  The
only alternative is to use the errata page.

One way I can think of is to point to a pseudo blfs on the web site and
use appropriate symbolic links to the right pages.  Initially they would
point to -dev and then would be changed to point to the appropriate
version ov blfs when that is released.
