There are definitely people outside, who are not only still
running 1.2.x sites, but even installing them (on FreeBSD, for
instance, where someone had quite some problems getting 1.4
compiling and not the time to track those down).

Well, IMHO every document (or topic, or any meaningful part of
the whole thing) should have his owner(s) who is/are the only
one(s) to edit it. I don't see another solution to keep a
consistent and good writing style throughout the whole manual.
One of the task of those editors would then be to revise and
include the annotations, which could be displayed as comments or
replies (in commentext) until one of the editors has time.
