The effect of this change is that the search engines will always list the latest version of the same page in the search result instead of versioned pages.
For example, if I search for the query deno config in google now, the search result shows https://deno.land/manual@v1.16.0/getting_started/configuration_file (outdated version) for the first result. This will be changed to https://deno.land/getting_started/configuration_file (latest version) by this change.
This adds canonical url meta tags to the manual pages. ref. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/consolidate-duplicate-urls
