I'm aware of the [Single Version Documentation](https://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/single_version.html) option, but I still want to be able to use release branches (and possibly translations).\r\n\r\nSo, I'm wondering if there is any merit in adding the ability to individually suppress `/<language>/` for the default language, and `/<version>/` for the default version. For example, assume that our documentation is primarily in English and that we always want to point our end users to our latest release, which is 1.0.1. In that case, I would like to suppress the \"/en/\" and \"/1.0.1/\", so we would get:\r\n\r\nEnglish, \"1.0.1\" branch:\r\nhttp://docs.citationstyles.org/primer.html\r\n(this content should still be accessible through http://docs.citationstyles.org/1.0.1/primer.html as well)\r\n\r\nEnglish, \"1.0\" branch:\r\nhttp://docs.citationstyles.org/1.0/primer.html\r\n\r\nEnglish, \"master\" development branch:\r\nhttp://docs.citationstyles.org/master/primer.html\r\n\r\nI realize that there would be a risk for overlap if I wanted to offer alternative languages, as in:\r\n\r\nFrench, v1.0.1:\r\nhttp://docs.citationstyles.org/fr/primer.html\r\n\r\nbut I think this wouldn't be too much of a practical issue, since it's unlikely people use the same strings for locale codes and branch/tag names.\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rtfd/readthedocs.org/issues/comments/105706394","html_url":"https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/issues/989#issuecomment-105706394","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rtfd/readthedocs.org/issues/989","id":105706394,"user":{"login":"ericholscher","id":25510,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/25510?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher","html_url":"https://github.com/ericholscher","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericholscher/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-27T00:56:29Z","updated_at":"2015-05-27T00:56:29Z","body":"Yea, this isn't going to happen.
