That exactly the problem I'm trying to address.

I don't think that the author has to do the copying. Someone could a
write a page to setup Ubuntu as a Active Directory member for gutsy.
May be someone else will test with dapper and update the page for dapper.

It seems that this would make more sense. May be it should be specified
in the wiki guidelines that a tag identifying which release the wiki page has
been written/tested for should be added to the page.
