Should we version our docs on every major version (instead of minor version) of 
cordova CLI that comes out? Should the next version of the docs be "6.x"? 
Honestly, not much changes every minor release and maintaining multiple copies 
has quite a few downsides w.r.t. SEO (referring to older versions of docs), 
slow docs builds, huge website duplication.

Lot of our docs relate to platform updates and we need clear sections within 
them that specify the version of the platform for which the docs apply to. For 
example, Android 5.1 will introduce new lifetime concepts which will be part of 
Cordova 6.0 docs release. It's best for the text of the docs itself to have 
something along the lines of "This applies to cordova-android > 5.1"

Similarly, significant future updates to CLI/Lib features can contain the same 
"This applies to cordova > 6.2".

I think it will lead to a simpler model on our website and prevent future 
version explosion [1].
