There may be a minor tweak on the PDF page, but I see no reason to think there will ever be another version of the WCAG Samurai.
OK, corrections:
WCAG Samurai has nothing to do with WCAG 2 and wasn’t a stopgap measure until WCAG 2 rides in on a white stallion. There was exactly one “draft” of the Samurai errata, not several. The current errata are as close to “100% final” as they’re going to get. It covers PDF but isn’t published in PDF. And it wasn’t my work alone but that of a group of developers.
