Totally agree.

Yes, it sticks to the current style: 
https://github.com/python/docsbuild-scripts/blob/master/build_docs.py#L33

> Why is 3.4 included, given that it now has the same status as 3.3?

What do you mean with "the same status" ? From my translator point of view, 
they still diverges, like in `Doc/library/zlib.rst:233`:

< "If the optional parameter *max_length* is supplied then the return value "
---
> "If the optional parameter *max_length* is non-zero then the return value "

And I don't think we can rely on certain releases being theorically identical 
to others, it look like an exception, look like it's not always true. I still 
prefer having a [clear tree of versions](https://github.com/AFPy/python_doc_fr) 
but we're (humans) only translating the latest version, we have scripts 
replicating our work to others.

Yet, if you tell me that there's work ongoing (that I clearly missed) to have 
every documentations, like by major version, converge to single one, with just 
some paragraphs added, it may simplify my hierarchy.

> Would it not be easier to default to False and only list 3.6?

Again I stick to the current style of the script, so ease its reading as a 
whole, but I agree, if we change it, let change it in another commit?

I am not aware of "Version Added" and "Version Changed" paragraphs, I 
understand that this is a policy to only add new paragraphs and never modify 
them inside the `3` major version ? This is cool for me, as said in my last 
paragraph, it may reduce the number of versionned `.po`, but it will not change 
the human workload (script replicating between po files ...).

Yes, I soon `nosy`ed Benjamin Peterson, look like he's the father of this 
script, if we trust commits here: 
https://github.com/python/docsbuild-scripts/commits/master

I even mailed him personally to speak about it (and he even replied once), but 
he's probably highly busy, and this is something I can understand. So here is 
my call on the issue to try to move this issue forward (I try to push this 
project less than once a month, to avoid buzzing everyone ears with this 
non-critical issue...).

Yes I also fully understand that the french translation of the documentation is 
not a point of interest for most of you upstream ^^ don't worry.
