@uce Some old releases still have strong google power -- especially 0.8. I
don't know if replacing those pages with a redirect will cause the page rank to
plummet or not.
> in old releases, warn users and guide them to the latest stable docs

>
> Old versions of Flink (especially version 0.8) are being frequently studied,
> downloaded, and used by new users (because google leads them there). I
> propose to guide folks to the latest stable release by adding a link on every
> documentation page in the old docs that links to the home page of the latest
> stable docs.
> The redirect lives at flink.apache.org/q/stable-docs.html, and will need to
> be modified with each major release (e.g. when 1.2 is released).
> This problem affects all releases before 1.1, but the stats show that 0.8,
> 0.9, 0.10, and 1.0 are the most important to deal with.
