That's correct.  Tom has incorporated my suggestions into his RSG
(and Bowie into the UISG).  I called it version 1.1 because there
wasn't really any new style info in it (other than vague
references to topics, e.g. Pie menus).  I personally won't
release any more versions; I am supporting Tom's effort 100%. 
That leaves the count at one old guide and two new ones.
