You might have a point, but at the moment the help website is organised
like this: 5.10 docs, 6.06 docs, wiki docs. We can't change that basic
structure now because the 6.06 webpage has been localised, and it will
be a shame to waste that. So I think we have to work with the structure
that is there for now.

Right now the url structure is done by version number, and so far on
this thread most people seem to think that the version number is quite
an easy way to identify releases, so I think changing the tabs makes
sense. Let's see what anyone else thinks.

doc.ubuntu.com doesn't have stable releases, only our in development
docs.
