I feel I may be missing something.

Why don't we

 (1a) keep /onlinedocs for all docs < GCC 13,
 (1b) possibly introduce /docs as an alternative URL (though we need
      to keep /onlinedocs for all the existing ones),

  (2) add sphinx docs for trunk, GCC 13 and later to /docs (and at the
      same time /onlinedocs which is just an alias)

  (3) put current installation documentation under /install and simply
      add a few redirects for those pages that have changed names?

That way we can retain existing structures, possibly replace /onlinedocs 
for the shorter /docs, and have one consistent index for all manuals.
