All of the stuff under https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/26/html/Release_Notes/index.html is still coming up really high on search results.
I think we should move this all off of the docs site entirely to somewhere like "old-docs.fedoraproject.org" with a HUGE banner at the top saying that it's all obsolete.
And don't forget to add a robots.txt file at the root of the new site containing:
User-agent: * Disallow: /

This has been opened for ages. https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/docs-fp-o/issue/118
Someone needs to make a decision on what exactly needs to be done here so we can come up with the necessary action items. A few people have volunteered to help with the work, so finding people to carry them out shouldn't be an issue.

Let's make that decision now, then. Heading to https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/docs-fp-o/issue/118 to not split the discussion.

Not that I have much weight, because of lack of participation, but I think this is a great idea. Finding obsolete documentation as users can be frustrating. I agreed with all parts of the "Proposed path forward" in Issue 183.
At one time I had started reading the documentation looking for ways to eliminate and replace with all specific reference to release #'s with general references so that when a user gets to the documentation site it always reads as if this works for the current version of Fedora. Then I wondered what would happen if in the next release something did change making that piece of documentation only applicable to the previous release, how would you find those easily and to make the documentation catch up with the current release. Thanks Matthew for finding an additional way to put more polish on a great distribution.

My experience -- old docs are for museums. Quite often, the documented function name has been changed a few releases ago, and much after the original implementation.In searching for the function explanation, obsolete information turns up to confuse the reader.Perhaps too, a release date should be attached to each topic.
I like the idea of having 3 generations of docs, some paragraph that says destroy by yyyy.mm.dd.
