I've carefully read the erratas again and found that they aren't saying about a problem of my PR. The 3.1 errata says about registration of aout libs after installing compat22. The 3.2 errata says nothing about compat22. My PR is about `How to let users know that they should install compat22 before installing aout applications like netscape.' I've seen a lot of such questions on ML and direct mail to me from new 3.2 users. This seems to be a pure FAQ and now I recommend importing the entry into FAQ. Any objection ?
