Neutron has two versions of LBaaS (v1 and v2) but both of them are
implemented as Networking v2 API extension.

I think the docs publishing process does not support file deletion.
I see several files remaining even though they have been removed.

Yes. Your understanding is correct.
We decided to use neutron-lib as the doc repo and Networking API as the name.

What I am asking is about page naming under
http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/networking/
I am thinking dedicated pages per networking project,
For example, http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/networking/service-function-chaining/
(for networking-sfc)
