<div class="yiv1002989570MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black;">Does anyone have an objection to cleaning up the docs to *only* apply to 2.6? My motivation is clarity. 2.6 simplifies installation quite
a bit but it also deprecates a few functions and I'd rather not have too much "diff docing" going on as it can confuse new users.</span></div>

<div class="yiv1002989570MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">Other projects, such as apache keep their documentation in separate subfolders. I don’t know if it would be easy to implement, but maybe something like this
would be clear, and useful for people stuck on older versions:</span></div>
