It was common practice many years ago to symlink a static location to the current source and binaries. Given especially [1] in your original mail, it looks like symlinks are officially out, probably because not all mirrors support real symlinks. I say definitely go ahead and delete them. It would be simple to add/generate an .htaccess file for that directory which redirects to the latest if that was still desired. cheers, andrew
