Yeah, but version 6? Or 1.08?!? :)

Sure, but there is no reason to tax the mirrors by having them keep all
those old versions. They would still be available non-mirrored to those
who wanted them (with a good README pointing the way). Keep in mind that
some of the releases are security releases and we do not want people under
any circumstance to be using them. So I would keep (for example) the highest
revision for each minor version in the 7.x series, and have a note telling
them where to find the older ones, and what was fixed that caused the
revision to jump.
