Oops.  =)

So this brings up something I have been pondering; what to do when a
mistake in a summary is found after it is already out the door.  I can
obviously fix the web version, but is it really worth it since I think
most people read the text version that goes to
comp.lang.python(.announce)? .  Does anyone object if I just leave it
as-is unless it is a major error that changes the meaning of the summary?
This obviously makes it seems like Guido said something he didn't, but the
outcome in the end is the same; the change was made.

And I don't want to have to go back and make changes to summaries that are
6 months old or something when the issue has long past.

So, keep the errors in the archive or change them?
