This stuff is all in CVS.  

But, our mirrors aren't complaining about disk space anyway so
there is probably little value in removing them ether, after some
more thought.

We could put up even older releases as well (the ones you have 
around) to be even more complete.

Since it's that aweful horrible for you I've moved it off the 
ftp site.  As for it's status as "official" or not, that sounds 
like a jab at me as the release maintainer.  And here I thought
we were one big happy family.
