We're kind of speculating that "oh, right, I have to slap a version number on when I search by Google" is less frustrating or more common than just "click on the wrong version result and then navigate to the right version result."

I also think it's a benefit to prioritize the most recent version on external search hits.

I haven't significant complaints within the Django community about the way they handle it, and that's with the Django documentation being *much* less well-organized than the PostgreSQL documentation (and thus more reliant on external search engines to find the right thing).
