Axel, I was thinking less about upgrading old versions and more about ARCHIVING. Ideally, it would be great if all old EOL snapshot versions (and maybe even the intervening upgrades) would be archived in case someone needed them for reference. For example, suppose I were still on F7 and decided I needed a new atrpms package -- it would be great to still be able to grab it. Let me know what can be done to help.
