I didn't quite click that it was Jonathan's links that were being
complained about.

I don't know how the website picks up where to link the doc page for a
given version. I see from e0b82fc8e8 that the PACKAGE_VERSION was
changed from 16devel to 16beta1. Does the website have something that
extracts "devel" from the former and "16" from the latter? I see the
release announcement for 16beta1 had /16/ links per [1]. So, I guess
it works. I just don't know how.
