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".
