Comment:

 Thanks for the suggestion.

 I understand the idea, but I'm not ready to wipe the dev docs from
 Google's index. People should be able to find information about an
 upcoming feature by googling its name.

 Besides, we take care to mention in which version new feature are added.
 And closing invalid tickets is cheap. The most troublesome change was the
 new `{% url %]`, and the flow of tickets eventually stopped.

 '''tl;dr''' The cost of the solution seems too high to me compared to the
 magnitude of the problem.
