I think much of this problem is the convoluted process Red Hat has for
updating their online documentation. About 2 years ago, I found some
items to be corrected in their RHEL 4 documentation. It took like
something like 6-9 months to get the correct documentation published on
their website.

I believe they have improved this since that time, but I think it
created a sour taste in many folks' mouths and those folks that used to
submit corrections gave up.
