In that case the RewriteRule needs to be changed not to redirect the
first URL to `/components/next/...`. How would we go about redirecting
"" and "latest" to 3.12.x, we'd need to compute what the latest
release is. Which we do in in Hugo bits for the download page

Can Antora help with the above ("" and "latest -> 3.12.x)?

Not at all, this would be error prone and we would forget that it
needs to be done.

3.12.x makes sense for me, but only if we have a way to auto-maintain
it, otherwise it's just more work to keep track of...

Not sure, having all three makes sense to me, the first one ("") bit
less than the others, but if possible I'd still include it...
