   Thanks @connorgoggins for clarifying.
   
   > @leezu after discussing with @sojiadeshina, we decided that it's ok to have the setup instructions (build from source) only apply to master
   
   I disagree. The build from source instructions that are currently listed on the website do not work with the latest MXNet stable release. Users downloading one of our stable releases at https://mxnet.apache.org/get_started/download have no way to find instructions on how to compile and install it. (The source releases do not contain install instructions).
   
   
   > The general website dropdown is something that can be added to the list of Future Work projects for Website 2.0 (to be completed once more engineers are added to the project), but I believe that the most critical priority (and the focus of this project) should remain fixing the Python API docs as soon as possible.
   
   Could you explain why building the website independently for every version and adding a static banner to the top on older versions of the website would be more effort than the solution proposed here? This may even take less resources?
   
   My concern with the current proposal is that versioning for each part of the website needs to be handled independently, meaning that we will need resources to work on each part, which we are unlikely to find.
