All nice and well, but whoever does that pays a price for it: keep
your old docs around, read them yourself instead of expecting others,
like this mailing list, Stack Overflow or the general Internet to
read them for you -- because the older your version the higher the
probability they are looking at other version's docs.
And, oh, make your version explicit, especially if it's a bit
"different".
Cheers
