It is just a (imho short) question of time Google (and other search engines) will renew their index and rebuild the karma for the new URIs. Not to change the meaning of /docs will do us much more pain. I don't want to hear "hey, forget apache. their docs are really outdated". And this is, what may (will?) come some day, if we keep our current URI structure.
