 I recommend that the developer documentation relate to the current version
 of WordPress Core. As it stands, the current version relates to the
 Gutenberg plugin, which is not always in use. (Confirmed by @t-hamano in
 Slack @outreach.)

 **What problem does this address?**

 Some of the documentation—e.g. https://developer.wordpress.org/block-
 editor/reference-guides/slotfills/plugin-document-setting-panel/—is for
 the code in the Gutenberg plugin, not the current version in WordPress
 Core.

 **What is your proposed solution?**

 The documentation should refer to the current version of core, not of the
 plugin.

 **Additional**

 Discussions in Slack indicate that it might make sense to base the
 documentation on a specific branch, so that a user can switch between
 documentation of previous versions. For example, ''wp/6.5''.
