I am not sure what hassles you are referring to but my personal
hassle (and I know of at least dozen other people) has been going on for
past few months. It is also not something LDP leaders have been unaware
of. There has been quite a bit of discussion about it on linux-doc,
techwriters and also offers from individuals and organizations to help
out. For instance metalab has offered CVS repository for LDP authors so
that documents can be updated more quickly and efficiently. I am told that
they received no response to their offer. It seems to me that LDP
leadership is doing their own thing and not really paying any attention to
the authors.
