Absolutely.  I don't want to maintain that infrastructure. But perhaps Michael would like to maintain it? He could be given an account on dinsdale if he wants to.

As Terry pointed out, better to point people to the 2.7 docs, and remind them to keep an eye out for "new in 2.7" or "changed in 2.7" if they're using 2.6.

Really, the older versions should only be referenced if you're looking at an offline version, or you want information on a deprecated feature that doesn't exist in the latest version.

Cheers, Nick.
