The way the files are structured under https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/ makes it so that the top level quickstart refers always to the latest version. Longer explanation: The file rendered when going to https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart is the result of https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/blob/asf-site/quickstart.html and in there one can see a snippet stating that it always shows the latest version's quickstart by including at present time the 4.0.x version's quickstart: <!-- should always link the latest release's documentation --> <!--#include virtual="40/quickstart.html" --> <!--#include virtual="includes/_footer.htm" --> Best, On Sat, May 10, 2025 at 7:50 AM Matthias J.
