A simple proposal: all moving-target files have "-latest" appended to
their names, and are symbolic links to set-in-stone files.

For example, errata-corrected-r6rs-latest.pdf could be a symbolic link
to errata-corrected-r6rs-2020-08-30.pdf. The latter could also be
downloaded directly and would be kept in the archive in perpetuity.
