As you said, something in 2.6 could change, so linking to a 2.6.x doc link
instead of a specific version could be misleading in your docs if a change
did occur that you were not aware about.

But since micro releases rarely have anything change in them you should be
able to link to practically any release and feel comfortable in knowing that
things should stay the same through all of 2.6.x.
