> Old versions of Flink (especially version 0.8) are being frequently studied, downloaded, and used by new users (because google leads them there). I propose to guide folks to the latest stable release by adding a link on every documentation page in the old docs that links to the home page of the latest stable docs. 
> The redirect lives at flink.apache.org/q/stable-docs.html, and will need to be modified with each major release (e.g. when 1.2 is released).
> This problem affects all releases before 1.1, but the stats show that 0.8, 0.9, 0.10, and 1.0 are the most important to deal with.
