Community help wikis per release

I think it's a really great idea to in some way distinguish which release a
page applies to.  The question I have about creating a separate wiki
instance for each release is what happens to new content created for say
Gutsy, but it could also apply to Dapper (or another LTS) release?  Would
the page then have to be copied from the newer release wiki into the older?
Would the page author need to do the copying?



All pages could be marked with a specific
> Category (CategoryReview).


I'm not 100% sure that CategoryReview would be that effective.  I'm
specifically thinking about the:
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryCleanup page.

I guess the question is who's willing to take responsibility to update
community Wiki pages?  I haven't been part of the Ubuntu community for very
long, but my plan is to update pages that I author, or contribute
significantly to, each release.

Would it make sense to create Categories for each release?  Then you could
mark a page as Gutsy, Dapper, Feisty then when it's updated again, or a
release is past support that Category could be removed.  This may also help
in searching.

Those are my thoughts anyway.
