Hey devs,

I would like to stop serving the documentation for all Flink versions
prior to 1.0.

Do you have any concerns about this?

These Flink versions are very old without any upgrade path to newer
versions but they still get a lot of traffic and most new users don't
realize that they are looking at a very outdated docs page.

Even with a stronger warning about being outdated, I don't see a point
in serving them.

If we choose to do this, I would redirect these ancient pages to the
docs of the latest stable release and update the release process Wiki
page to update those redirects etc.

This will mean that some links in old StackOverflow questions and the
mailing list archives will be broken/redirected. If you have concerns
about this, please raise your voice in this thread.

PS: I've created an issue to improve the visibility of the outdated
warning here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7462. I will
only apply this to versions >= 1.0 for now.
