We do have the version-added directive in sphinx
to help with this sort
of indicator, but it is harder to maintain - I just removed some
referencing cuttlefish last week!
On this subject, I was reading
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/radosgw/multisite/ says "New in
version Jewel." and there's six references to "Kraken".
Are we good with cleaning up all references to EOL versions? The docs
could simply describe the current behavior and avoid mentioning
releases that are not active (defined on
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/)

I get where you’re coming from. Tealistically there are a significant number of people who
are — for various reasons — running older releases, and we should not abandon them. Sure,
one can to a certain extent select an older release by editing the URL, but this isn’t
ubiquitously known.
At a recent employer I inherited 15 or so Infernalis clusters. Sometimes upgrading or
replacing is feasible, sometimes it isn’t, so from personal experience I favor being
sensitive to existing production installations. Granted, over time that might get
unwieldy, and if something mentions “The new Kraken release” that can and should be
freshened; I made a few updates to that end last year.
