To clarify, the stuff directly under /docs/ (with no version number)

Right, and a grep on the logs for September shows that only 0.99% [1] of all requests to /docs/* are affected, so really negligible.

That is a surprising statistic, and is quite different from my gut feeling about how it would be. Thanks for providing actual data. It certainly puts things on a more useful footing. I'd be interested to see the trend over time, but I'm reasonably sure we'd see this number shrink.

On the other hand, feal very free to spruce up the /docs/ index page,
and perhaps also update the ssi header include file used in the 1.3
docs. It currently says "Is this the version you want? For more recent
versions, check our documentation index." I believe it could say "You
are reading the documentation for an obsolete version of the server.
For the current version, check our documentation index."

Yep, I think this is the best we can/should do.

I know, I'm one of the ones who in the first place wanted /docs to go to /docs/current but I find myself in agreement with Joshua's explanation of how things are and should be.
