True, but this would leave people with no way to bookmark a permanent
link to whatever is the current version, which will represent a
regression for how some people want the site to work.

I suggested a few weeks ago adding a drop down menu for other version of the manual for a page. I have not had time to write a patch, but I think it is something that MySQL does better that pg.
As an example take a look at the page on select for MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/select.html .
If you want a earlier or later version they are easily accessible via a link on the left.
