Many parts of the library docs aren't version-specific either :)
The dev docs may differ slightly from one version to another, for
example if a version introduces some new possibilities for tooling, or
far-reaching implementation changes (think Unladen Swallow).

The practicality argument of being able to edit those docs without
having to master a separate (pydotorg) workflow sounds quite strong to
me.
