Good place to start. So, not acceptable because 3.0 rather than 3, right,
and therefore not the current version?

I could imagine a system whereby any reference to older versions was
redirected to current if the source is a search engine. This should only be
implemented for pages that can be version-selected.

It seems to me this could be a feasible technical fix, but the question of
whether this would be a desirable change remains to be debated. Not all
problems should have technical solutions ...

PS: Spooky Halloween thought: I have no idea why pydotorg-www@ should be
listed in my address book as "Food" ...
