I'm down with that.  :-)   As an individual consumer, though, $60 is about
twice what I would be willing to spend on point releases.

IBM has something like this.  Their "red books" are a treasure that I think
is up on the same level as the O'Reilly books.  But you can only get them
through IBM, I think.  It's a shame that they aren't marketed to a wider
audience.  They've got an excellent book on TCP/IP that I bought when I
worked for IBM.  I'll bet you they've got some good stuff on Apache, too.

If Red Hat wants to hire anyone to author such books, my resume is on file
with Martha Michaux.  ;-)
