Perhaps a compromise is to add very visible banners that explicitly
remind the reader they're looking at installation instructions for
an outdated version of the software, with a link to see the current
installation instructions instead? Simply relying on newcomers to
recognize release series names and inherently know whether they're
reading the latest version is an issue.
