end-users basically ignored the new one for the old.

Old bad version: 14629 downloads

New “Fixed Version: 496 downloads

So, given PG’s webmasters’ policy of continuing to “advertise” old versions over new versions, only about 1 in 30 customers will discover a “new improved” version.  So, its not in practice possible to “fix” an old bad version by offering a new good version under the current PG system.  If one is sophisticated and experienced with PG’s system, one knows to look for the newest version of a text, or at least compare the newer versions to the older versions and see which is “best” for you – but most customers do not know to do this, nor how to get PG’s system to show them these details.
