But when looking at https://proj.org/en/stable/about.html for example, the only thing that is missing to me is a hint of what "stable" alias to. So you have on the top left, under the PROJ logo, a "stable" text. It would be nice if that would be "stable (9.4)".

Telling in robots.txt that the full page has a different URL is not good for seo and history (if I understand correctly how it works, that I am not sure).
I think using `/en/stable/` (or /latest) as the default URL redirect is the thing — as a new release gets promoted, google/etc will keep using/crawling that, and that link doesn't change. I think the robots thing would need something a bit like: allow: /en/stable/ disallow: /en/ Though in principle, no-index would be preferable to "do not crawl". Not sure what levers RTD has in that regard, if /stable/ and /9.4/ are actually different sets of html files then adding in an HTML <meta> tag for noindex might be simple enough for !=stable ? Rob :)
