Generally, I would like the docs to address the most current version only and have older docs move to some archive. For more living resources like the FAQs the version labels should suffice. > I realize that is yet more work and just keeping current is already a > strain, but if we lose the history, then people using an old version are > likely to be terribly confused when the docs don't match what they're > seeing. Right. I'd like to encourage everyone, however, to always use the most current version. Usually, they contain many bugfixes and improvements beside new features.
