I noticed in #72556 that the generated documentation links point to master. These docs change as the next major evolves, which means that users of any particular version, e.g. 7.9, will be linked to documentation that's constantly changing and may possibly be removed or otherwise inapplicable to the user's version.

Some questions I have are:

  1. How long back has this problem persisted? We need to check out some old releases and see if we introduced this problem at some point.
  2. If this is a new problem, when did we introduce it?
  3. Can we fix this for current releases in some upcoming patches?
  4. Can we fix this for future releases by making changes to the way these specs are generated, so they point to the correct minor instead of master?

Were you able to reproduce the behaviour of being sent to a master url?

I believe there is a nasty workaround in place for this at the moment:

This has been used for a quite a while as a last-minute way to send the user to the current ES docs version.
