version numbers in directories are nearly always a bad idea,
as they always tend to look a bit silly when the subsequent
release is made.

But it would also give a clue that the docs are out of date. Perhaps
later in each developement cycle, there could be an effort to check the
documentation, with a 2.8-docs or 3.0-docs being the result, and dumping
the 2.6-docs into the historical reference directory.
Or, the old stuff could be dropped with the new stable release.
The other possibility is to have a TODO file with a list of out-of-date
files, and have the removal of the file listing in the TODO file be part
of the patch submission.
