[racket-dev] I'd like to add a sidebar link to all documentation versions in docs.racket-lang.org.

No, I do like that the default is to show the docs for the current version.

I do like Eli's updates to the old pages: those doc links are right.

I think your earlier suggestion of making the version at the upper
right somehow selectable would address my discoverability concern.  A
select box right below the "Version 5.3.3" which allows the user to
select different versions would be one way to do it.  It would be
similar to what the Python folks do; see the top bar of
http://docs.python.org/3/ and note how they make it easy to see older
versions of their documentation.  I think that's the right idea.
