Comment (by aaugustin):
They aren't hidden, and depending on what you're searching Google can
still return various more or less recent versions of the docs.
Our main problem is that the docs for each new release duplicate content
from previous releases, and Google favors the original URL in this case.
Canonicalizing /en/1.5/ (or whatever the current version is) =>
/en/stable/ may help.
