Here is the website:

    https://guix.gnu.org/

On the top, under Download, you have Standard vs Latest.
Under Help, you have "GNU Guix manual 1.4.0" vs "GNU Guix manual (latest)".

You are proposing that https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/ points to the
latest manual.
That https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/ is removed or redirected to
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/.
And that https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/v1.4.0 points to the frozen
manual of v1.4.0.
Right?

Please note that the manual of the last release (1.4.0) is kept around
only for people installing from released images before they run "guix
pull".

So maybe, we could remove "GNU Guix manual 1.4.0" from the Help
section and just mention it in the Download
(https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/) webpage.

Well, I do not know.

Cheers,
simon
