If I search for "postgresql jsonb", the first result I see is
"PostgreSQL: Documentation: 9.4: JSON Types", which is what I'd expect
(though, the current version would be better). If I search for
"postgresql jsonb 9.5", I don't see the result "JSON Types" at all,
for any version on the first page of results. I do see "9.5: JSON
Functions and Operators", presumably because those changed in 9.5.
Most of the important information about jsonb is under "JSON Types",
and I don't get to see that at all. I think that putting a version
number into Google is a pretty bad strategy. By making the current
version of each page canonical (or, the latest version that still has
the page), we'd be better off on average. There might be a cost, but
it seems well worth it to me.
