It is a valid point, however when I think in terms of a menu structure,
I Imagine each indentation to be a set of tabs:

Ubuntu Documentation:
   
        5.10   (Breezy Badger)     
                                             Release Documentation (5.10)
                                             Wiki Documentation (5.10)

       6.06   (Dapper Drake)
                                            Release Documentation (6.06)
                                            Wiki Documentation (6.06)

        X.XX   (Edgy Eft)
                                             Release Documentation (Devel)
                                             Wiki Documentation (Devel)

        Devel+1
                                             Release Documentation (Devel+1)
                                             Wiki Documentation (Devel+1)

So you always know where you are, it also allows other tabs such as 
"Specs" to be added.
