This looks great except for 'latest', which is ambiguous and awkward. Like Guido, I would have docs2 and docs3 link to the latest of each series. This gives both series equal billing. docs itself could then become a neutral index page. In retrospect, I wish we had done this a year ago.

I don't like docs2/docs3. First, they are clumsy to type and look awkward. Second, it's not the right level of segregation; if you wanted separate domains you'd really want docs.python2.org and docs.python3.org.

So, in the end, I think the current scheme is ok and we only need to add a "/stable" pointing to latest 3.x.

Antoine.
