There is zero doubt that Google search results have changed utterly
following the rel=canonical update. It hasn't yet had the effect of
making 100% of all results from our documentation link to the
/current/ page, but it's not too far off. That's what I see, at least.

DuckDuckGo is a different matter entirely -- that still links to older
versions (though mostly versions that are still supported). I suspect
that we can't do much about that.
