I speak only for myself, but I am working in an environment where I am
regularly checking docs all the way back to 1.8.x because we have legacy
systems we cannot upgrade, and I am often referencing rules about schema
canonical form. I value a lot the sidebar bottom version switching
navigation from sites such as here
https://fastavro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/writer.html#using-the-record-hint-to-specify-which-branch-of-a-union-to-take
... but I know it can be extraordinarily difficult to make it work
correctly with these static site generators.
