Yeah, as Paul noted for /docs/ - but what's about /docs-2.(0|1)/ - same CGI script? Fine.

Ugh. Please just send the 2.x stuff directly where it belongs. There is certainly no ambiguity there that needs resolving.

I'm also -0.666 on the whole CGI script idea. I love stable URLs. I hate people making me go through all my pages to change links just because they wanted prettier-looking URLs. Do you realize how many thousands of links we are talking about? And note also that this will completely mess up any links with anchors (mod/core.html#AccessFilename).

I would much prefer a permanent redirect for all three. If you really believe that many people are unintentionally winding up in the 1.3 docs when they want to be in the 2.0 docs, then add a message to the top of the 1.3 docs pages.
