Well, currently we don't have any of those pages. However, I agree that
distinguishing between community-driven wiki docs and 5.10/6.06 is not a
clear distinction to draw.

So how about this alternative - | Stable docs | Community docs |

("Stable docs" would then point to the current version, and contain
links to previous versions).

I don't particularly like the word "Stable", but it was the only word I
could think of to describe the difference. What do people think of this
idea?
