IBM should remove the version number from the URL's for the latest doc.
Then maybe Google will get the hint and quit sending me to old versions,
unless I'm specifically looking for those.
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/ < current
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0 < old
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0 < older
Then when the new version arrives:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/ < current
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0 < old
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0 < older
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0 < older

I have found google to be useless for locating old IBM manuals.
While it is not exactly relevant to IBM-MAIN topics, I seem to see recent
google results as having considerably less "accuracy" than in earlier days
and considerably more "advertising" or "marketing" orientation. I find I am
using it less now than I did a year or two ago. (Even for z/OS-related
searches!) I realize this is a fuzzy topic that could be debated at least a
dozen different ways but, to me at least, it has somewhat reduced the
usefulness of the web.
