[users at bb.net] Confusing documentation links "latest" and "current"

It's confusing that the documentation for the development version of Buildbot is at

http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/

while the documentation for the stable version is at

http://docs.buildbot.net/current/

When I search Google and land on a documentation page, I never remember which means which. "Latest" and "current" are synonyms:

http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/latest?s=t

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/latest?s=t

How about putting the version number in the URL instead of "latest" and "current"? This is what Apache httpd does, e.g.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/
