IMO the lisp intro should say 22.1 in the examples.  So I don't see a
need to do as you suggest.

The version number in file names used in the intro is of the form 
MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD

In contrast, the CVS / pretest versions uses MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO.BUILD

So 22.1.100 refers to build number 100 of 22.1

Bob already changes the intro to use a 22.1.1 (ie build number 1)
instead, and that's all that's needed.
