currently, rustdoc just links to https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/

this could lead to confusion for old crates on docs.rs when someone tries to use a new feature and it doesn't work.

perhaps, rustdoc 1.80.1 should link to https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.80.1/rustdoc/ and other versions should link to their matching documentation...

You can find more information in the rustdoc book.

Wasn't it already done a while ago: 2f1939a ?

EDIT: It was only partially done, it hasn't been updated everywhere
