@bloom and I have been discussing removing v2.0 documentation from [https://docs.openreferral.org/](https://docs.openreferral.org/)

I’ve been working on some changes to the documentation to clearly signpost to the latest version of the docs in response to [SEO: Many top hits for HSDS search terms go to v2.0 docs](https://github.com/openreferral/specification/issues/449)

As v2.0 hasn’t been worked on in more than 5 years, making any updates to the documentation means tackling all the technical debt that has accumulated in that time. It would be more efficient to only link to v3.0 and v3.1 on the docs site.

Would anyone here object to that?

We discussed this in the OR Technical Committee meeting today and there were no objections. Final call for any objections and if there are none I will remove the v2.0 docs on the 25th March.
