When people link to a page, they link to the URL they copy and paste out of the browser address bar.
If http://postgresql.org/docs/9.0/* were to 302 redirect to http://postgresql.org/docs/current/* while 9.0 is the current release (and similarly for 9.1 and so on) I suspect we'd find many more links to current and fewer links to specific versions after a year or two.

I don't know how to target "people who link to the PostgreSQL manual" beyond raising awareness of the issue periodically on these lists, like I did on this thread.
