I'm not sure we want to do that.  A site might be referring to a
particular version of a guide that may not be relevant or the correct
thing to do in a more recent guide.

But for the Server Guide, 'lts' can be employed:

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/package-management-introduction.html

Since the Server Guide is going 'LTS-only' this is enough.  Still, it's
impossible to force people/sites to use such a placeholder and since
multiple LTS guides will exist at any one time we need to keep
individual version numbers.  Dunno about the Desktop stuff.
