Kenneth, The only 4.x docs should go in trunk. If you would like to contribute docs to the 2.x and/or 3.x releases, please make pull requests against branches for those versions. During normal development process, the docs should be updated in trunk. When a release is cut from trunk, any further fixes to the docs pertaining to that release should go into that branch. This is in principle the same process that the code follows. So the docs will live with their respective branches. You should not put the documentation for older releases in trunk because it will end up confusing the user. It looks like the in-tree docs were introduced in 4.x. They seem to also be present in the 3.11 branch. If you're inclined, you might back port them to the older 3.x & 2.x releases and update them. Personally, I think focusing on making the 4.x docs awesome is a better use of your time.

No links were changed yet. We can work on the files first and discuss how we want to change the template and links. I did the pull request already.

Yes, I agree, we should host versioned docs. I don't think anyone is against it, it's a matter of someone having the time to do it.

You can get the docs for any version you need by downloading C*, the docs are included. I’m a firm -1 on changing that process. We should still host versioned docs on the website however. Either that or we specify "since version x" for each component in the docs with notes on behaviour.
