We probably need to update https://docs.python.org/robots.txt, which
currently contains:

# Prevent development and old documentation from showing up in search results.
User-agent: *
# Disallow: /dev
Disallow: /release

The intent was to allow the latest version of the docs to be crawled.
Unfortunately, with the current hierarchy we'd have to disallow each
version, e.g.

Disallow: /2.6/*
Disallow: /3.0/*
Disallow: /3.1/*

And we'd need to update it for each new major release.
