As of Spring Framework 5, XSD are not versioned anymore and the versioned artifacts have been removed. Yet, users are relying on those versioned artifacts, especially here:
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/
Previously, each release on the docs server creates a symlink without a version to the latest version of the XSD (i.e. spring-beans.xsd is a symlink to spring-beans-4.3.xsd).
When we publish a new release, the 4.x version is still served. We should find a way to publish the 5.x version as well.
This is especially important as XSD on master were recently changed.
Affects: 5.0.6

Closing as we didn't get much requests for that from the community and we've been using the "version-less" variants for a long time now.
