wohali commented on issue #149: Create 2.0.x branch?
URL: 
https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation/issues/149#issuecomment-317285119
 
 
   Once we release 2.1 and tag `2.1.0` in the repo, the default 
https://docs.couchdb.org/ page will redirect to 
https://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.0/. So unless people specifically click on the 
`2.0.0` link in the documentation footer, they'll always get the updated docs 
by default. And the 2.0.0 link in the footer will **always** redirect to the 
`2.0.0` tag, which we shouldn't (and won't) move. We also can't go back and 
update the docs we shipped in the 2.0.0 tarball, that asset is frozen.
   
   We __could__ have a 2.0.x link in the website's footer that would follow the 
`2.0.x` branch, but I think that would confuse people. The other thing we could 
do is release a 2.0.1 with various patches and updated docs, at which point we 
could tag the docs for 2.0.1 and there'd be a link to that on the website. 
(That'd require a whole lot of cherry-picking, for what it's worth. ?  )
   
   @rnewson you were asking about this at one point as well, any opinions?
