One of the beauties of free software is that people have low barriers to
accessing old versions for whatever reason they need them. Unless there
are disk space problems, I suggest that they be put in a directory named
"obsolete" or "deprecated", and that robots.txt be set up so to avoid
search engines to give the direct link to download them directly.
