That seems to be the way that Atlassian uses Confluence for their own
documentation -- they copy the space for new versions.  You might still not
want a frozen space for released versions -- there's almost always room to
improve documentation.

Community docs can be of lower quality than "official docs", but it
certainly isn't always that way.  I'm sure it's a tricky balance.
