Which is not updated from the branch anymore.  You will see that it redirects
to /releases/2.6.6, which is the docs released with 2.6.6.

I do think that most people just use docs.python.org, and since we clearly
mark everything that is new in 2.7 there is no harm in doing so either.

I don't think I'll want to bother with porting doc fixes to the 2.6 branch.

indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
