Given that you're not going to add the complete 
examples to the book for this cycle, you might 
want to just hold off on that whole flag-thing. 
After the new version of the book is out, put the 
final complete samples up on your web site and 
point to them from your errata page. Call me a 
coward, but I just don't see enough value in 
rocking the boat right now.
