We already have the latest manuals at https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html but what you suggest will require to maintain several versions back, which is a non-trivial complication of the release procedures that are already quite complex and tedious. So I don't think we should take this issue to be our problem to that level.
