 Description   

I am currently working on removing the API documentation version list from api.mongodb.com.  The current list here https://api.mongodb.com/java/
includes versions 2.0 - 3.3 which are absent from the current list here: http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/
 
Can we safely remove the older versions (before 3.4) from api.mongodb.com, or would you like to add them to the aforementioned current list?

Ok, will punt on this for now. Maybe we can find out from Christine LeBarca whether those pages receive more than a couple hits per month

We should not add them to the current list on GH pages. That would involve generating a whole docs sites for those versions, which would be a lot of work. Also, those versions are really old, and the only reason we haven't removed those docs already is the fear of breaking old links to them from third parties.

jeff_y and ross.lawley what do you think about this change? Would you rather remove 2.0-3.3 or could we add them to the current list (http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/) otherwise?
