What did you do?

Visited https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/getting-started

What did you expect to see?

Up-to-date information about the rsc.io/quote package

What did you see instead?

In the tutorial there is talk about a rsc.io/quote/v3 version of the quote package.
However, when I search for the quote package on https://pkg.go.dev/search?q=quote, the only thing that I can find is https://pkg.go.dev/rsc.io/quote/v4.

Hi @haroldlbrown thanks for the report.

From a quick look, it does look like the tutorial should get a tweak so that the description there aligns better with the current pkg.go.dev behavior.

That said, this might also be an occurrence of #35671 (perhaps as a deliberate test), in which case there is at least some chance that pkg.go.dev will stop mentioning v4.

Even so, I think the text in the tutorial could be updated. The text seems more aligned with older behavior as far as I can tell, such as from this snapshot from 2021 via the web archive:

Hi @stevetraut, if you think the tutorial should be updated, I would be interested in sending a CL.
