<br>
The reason why PROJ's RTD is configured this way is that "stable" is<br>
set at one commit (currently 875a485f) for the most recent release, as<br>
described by<br>
<a href="https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/versions.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/versions.html</a><br>
<br>
PROJ instead configures the default version as "9.4" for the 9.4<br>
maintenance branch, which allows backports for documentation<br>
updates/improvements for the most recent release, which precede the<br>
release marked as "stable".<br>
<br>
>From what I see, robots.txt is automatically configured for the default version:<br>
<a href="https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/robots.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/robots.html</a><br>
