The reason why PROJ's RTD is configured this way is that "stable" is
set at one commit (currently 875a485f) for the most recent release, as
described by
https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/versions.html

PROJ instead configures the default version as "9.4" for the 9.4
maintenance branch, which allows backports for documentation
updates/improvements for the most recent release, which precede the
release marked as "stable".
