We already have the latest manuals at
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html
but what you suggest will require to maintain several versions back,
which is a non-trivial complication of the release procedures that are
already quite complex and tedious. So I don't think we should take
this issue to be our problem to that level.
