Nahhh. It's an excuse for something that happens in nearly all tech manuals anyway. Readers learn to live with that kind of stuff. If the changes are too glaring to ignore, don't excuse them--prevent them or fix them.

You could possibly say, "This manual documents the product at Rev. 13.34.5a. The examples may vary slightly in other revisions."
