Google preferring v0.1 instead of v1.0

[MarkLodato]

Google seems to be preferring v0.1 instead of v1.0 in many cases. For example, the top result for "SLSA requirements" is https://slsa.dev/spec/v0.1/requirements. Note that it does also return links to v1.0. Ideally we could somehow configure it so that only the v1.0 links are returned, unless you specifically search for v0.1. Probably other software projects run into similar issues.

Anyone with experience with this, your input would be valuable!

Maybe we update our robots.txt to prevent indexing anything other than the latest official release? It would be equally bad for the top result to be the draft of v1.1.
