Are we still maintaining the v3-support branch?
I think it would be a good idea at least until we get more user feedback.

Yes, I think we do keep the v4-support branch. But perhaps not as a warning - I'll change it to an INFO message

I have now finished reconfiguring RTD - so we have the latest tag again.
latest- builds offmainstable- builds off the latest release
I think we should point everything in README's and in code to the latest tag, which is now also the default version in the docs

OK, but if the (default) documentation builds off main, while most users will install the latest release - don't we run the risk that the documentation doesn't (entirely) align with the code users have.
Or is that the reason why we "freeze" the API, so that from a user perspective nothing changes until the next release?
