My recollection was that we had a redirect for latest in place ... I can't
find it now though.

I wonder if redirecting to Rawhide docs makes sense, similar to how<br>
other projects have a "latest" version for the latest stable release.<br>
<br>

I'm not familiar with the relationship between old docs site content and<br>
differences between f29/f30/rawhide docs, but without a way to<br>
consistently point to the latest stable release of Fedora, Rawhide seems<br>
like the best we have as a "latest" \
docs.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" \
