Hmmm. He has a good point there.
In fact, IMHO it is pretty bad that we don't support the Beta4 floppy images 
and netboot any more (20040430 is Beta4!).
This could cause a lot of unnecessary "failed installation" reports.

Shouldn't we keep udebs for abandoned kernel versions available on the mirrors 
a bit longer?
