I often get bitten by that, too. Maybe sitemap.xml files may be of use?

Within http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=40318
you can read:

The relative importance of pages on your site. For example, your home
page might have a relative importance of 1.0, category pages have an
importance of 0.8, and individual blog entries or product pages have
an importance of 0.5. This priority only indicates the importance of a
particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact
the ranking of your pages in search results.

All the 7.x, 8.y (y<3) Documetation could be valued at importance 0.4,
the actual one with 0.9, and "whats new" and the "search documentation
page" at 1.0 ?
