All Google searches refer either to broken pages, to 4.x doc pages, to incomplete 5.0 unstables or even to 3.3 documentation. What's the point on having 5.x (or any) docs if you keep moving them around hiding it from search engines and breaking links on every site that links to you?

I agree.  But I think the idea was to change it one last time and then never change it again, and the docs that google finds should be always the latest rather than a particular version.  I hope that goal is achieved...
