Yes, that's flippant, but (eg) someone to whom I am talking has just
downloaded 28Mb of PDF to try and determine what has changed since last
time, and that's just a matter of logistics.

I've already pointed out on twitter that - at least as-of 2 days ago -
there was nothing about the operational security / virus / government agent
risk of someone walking into a Cryptoparty with something evil on a USB

Bad advice is worse than no advice at all, but both are worse than good
advice.

My advice: delete the PDF and produce several such somethings along the
lines of FAQs, a-la ancient shit like
