The problem is syntax change, I think.
Imagine that someone finds a solution on lilypond-user archives which
points to an explanation in the docs. If doc/stable is used, he may be
pointed to a page where something has changed (or maybe the node name has
been renamed; in that case, I think that he would be redirected some levels
up).

doc/stable redirect is useful when you want to create a permanent link to
the latest stable doc, for example in a README file.



I don't know much about SEO, but I see your point. It's a trade-off with
the problem of syntax change mentioned above.

Anyway, I wonder if it really matters... The links of the website are
always the same, because they are in the root directory. And documentation
links should point to a specific version, for the reasons explained before.
