He mentions both "correctness and format".
But I doubt that application of a style guide would fix the situation.
Perhaps a classification of documents and official compilation
of sub-sets can help. On the other hand Linux grew up as an
online club. Not being archived on CDs might just be considered
as going back to the roots.
Anyway, was there any kind of notice before that heavenly release?
Most of the time this mailing list is silent to the point
of being non-existant.
