I've been down this road and it isn't pretty. I rarely have time to _read_
the manuals much less try to deal with all the updates. I used to manage a
system (Hewlett Packard, not to be confused with Packard Bell) that had a
manual set of about 100 manuals that were set up this way. What usually
happened was that the updates got stuck on the shelf during the usual
daily firefighting and never made it into the manuals. Big mess. I realize
that we're only talking about a few hundred pages in the case of Lucent
but I'm for having machines do stuff like this for me rather than me
wasting my time on stuff like this.
