Reasonable requests to streamline rules books should not be ignored, and using web pdfs is an opportunity that GW continues to overlook. Writing a Codex is indeed a tricky business, as I found out first-hand when I decided to make Lost and the Damned into a fan codex. Many people have pointed out flaws that I wouldn't have noticed on my own or had other suggestions, and over many iterations the product keeps getting better and better. This wouldn't be possible without a community of fans (or at least some other game developers.)
