There's no policy on this. It's merely a function of the fact that
we're a volunteer organization, and people work on the stuff that we
care about. Consequently, the 1.3 docs have become more and more
abandoned, with only occasional serious errors being fixed in that
branch. If you want to backport doc patches, you are very welcome to
do so. There are still millions of servers running the 1.3 code, and
so presumably lots of folks still need the 1.3 docs.
I've tried to remember to patch the 2.0 docs when I patch the 2.2 and
trunk docs, but it doesn't always happen. 2.0 is still very
important, with lots of people having made the jump to 2.0 but not
feeling quite confident enough to move to 2.2.

What an astute .sig, serendipity?
I pondered today if there's also a function involved here in making
the next major release sufficiently better, by not backporting trivial
changes. Perhaps that's less of an issue with the docs.
