Yes, I realised that problem when making the change and linking to the
versions that were current at the time. One option would be to add a
gcc-4.8 symlink that points to the latest gcc-4.8.x version, but that
adds more work for the release managers and only has a small benefit.
Alternatively, since we only tend to have four or five releases from a
branch, we could just update them manually when we remember to. That's
only necessary until the branch closes, at which point the latest
release won't change. It's not a huge problem if the links don't go
to the latest docs immediately IMHO.
