Better SEO for "Scala spec"
Being a lazy Googler I search for "Scala spec" instead of "Scala specification" or "Scala language specification". This only returns the archived 2.11 spec from https://scala-lang.org/files/archive/spec/2.11/.
Searching for "Scala specification" will show that Google has ranked the archive spec higher than the latest one (perhaps not much can be done about this if there are too many inbound links to it).
Pretty minor problem but I've hit it enough times recently that it bugged me enough to raise an issue about it.

May be we can improve content to make sure that google identifies this better view-source:https://scala-lang.org/files/archive/spec/2.11/
