You only need the chapter from the 2.5 LRU. The best approach is probably to copy that chapter, edit the existing sections as necessary and add the missing bits. Talking about chapters: I propose that we create a separate file for each chapter, e.g. langref25-intro.xml, langref25-contextvars.xml etc. The LRU 25 has already become awkwardly large (over 20,000 lines), and the full LangRef will be a lot bigger. If you guys (that's Dmitry and Thomas, but of course others are also welcome to comment) agree with splitting the source, I suggest we put it in a separate subdir (e.g. refdocs/langref/langref25), given the number of source files that will result from the split. Further, I'd like to use xincludes instead of entity references to link the chapters to the parent document. Xincludes have several advantages, the most beneficial probably being that you can leave the DOCTYPE header in the child documents. (We should probably replace all entity includes in the tree with xincludes, but there's no hurry.) Until now, what kept us from using xincludes is that it broke the build process, but I've found a solution for that (it turns out to be rather simple, but I'm too tired to explain it now).
