docs/index.html *are* the "current docs". They correspond to the current
released version, which would be 7.0.x (though it is possible that no
one updated them for 7.0.2).

For developers (-hackers developers, not application developers using
the current release), the "current docs" correspond to the docs built
nightly (actually twice a day), which reflect the current development
tree.
