Fairly obvious now it's just the author's but it implies that things are more automatic than they are.  At some level it would be nice to have a duplicate of 7400-1.sym automatically become 7400-2.sym but where would this happen?

These aren't different versions. They are different symbol graphics. 7400-1 is drawn as NAND, 7400-2 is inhibited OR. You use whichever one makes the logic clearest. We also have, for example, resistor-1 (American style) and resistor-2 (European style).
