[Python-Dev] docs.python.org pointing to Python 3 by default?

I don't like docs2/docs3. First, they are clumsy to type and look
awkward. Second, it's not the right level of segregation; if you wanted
separate domains you'd really want docs.python2.org and
docs.python3.org.

So, in the end, I think the current scheme is ok and we only need to
add a "/stable" pointing to latest 3.x.
