This is an interesting and complex question. Given that much material
applies to a number of releases, the best way to do this is not to
create separate instances, but evolve a process to enable

The issue is discussed on this spec, so please add comments to the
talk page as appropriate if you have something to add:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpWikiQualityAssurance

If we can (as provided by that spec) show the user on each page (a)
how reliable a page is, and (b) what release it applies to, then we
are well on the way to have a single wiki for all online
documentation, instead of the artificial distinction we have now
between "official" and "community" documents.
