No. I have yet to see a publication that offers that
as an option. 

I did run into a situation where an article I wrote
for "Linux Journal" was correct when I submitted it,
but a subsequent change to the software I was writing
about made what some of what I had written
inapplicable. At that point the article had not been
published, so I e-mailed the editor, offering to
revise the article. The editor said no, and just stuck
in a disclaimer in the article noting the instructions
were for version X and might not work with other
versions (which was fair enough...).
