Thanks for pointing this out. As a very first step, I've added the 1.6/1.8/2.0
paths in robots.txt so that they shouldn't be indexed by search engines
anymore. (There is still the 2.2 *and* 2.4 path allowed.)
Can you follow up on this issue in a few weeks from now, when the search
engines should have picked up this change? If the 1.8 docs still show up more
prominently, we should indeed do something about this (such as moving them to
another directory "obsolete..."), but maybe we don't need to zip them up.
Regards,
Christian
