Issue #10251 relates to branch names for documentation versions on Read the 
Docs 

I'd like to bring this to a close with agreement.

The default names on RTD are "latest" to track main branch, and
"stable" to track the highest versioned branch.

There are arguments in favour of changing this. For what it's worth,
most RTD projects seem to use the default; Fedora uses "latest" for
the most recent release; Debian uses "stable" for the most recent
release, (and "oldstable" for the one before.)

These projects do not seem to see any issue with using these names in
their documentation, instead of URLS that point to specific releases,
(although they may support that also).

I do not know if it's possible to change the default namings in RTD to
keep the automatic updating. The documentation isnt particularly clear
on this, and (ironically) the documentation on building a working local
RTD on Debian is woeful.

It IS possible to change the default view to show documentation for the
stable branch. We should do this, under whatever name is chosen.

I think we need to establish:
1. Is it possible to change the default names - latest and stable?
2. If so, what names should we use?
3. If we do, is it possible to retain automatic generation of docs for
the most recent versioned branch?
4. If we do change from defaults, and it is not possible to retain
automatic generation, can we manually set our choice to point to the
most recent versioned branch?

2 is for general discussion.
1,3,4 need input from folk familiar with RTD.
