I would guess that users are still using some of these old releases. It is unclear from Beam website which releases are still supported or not. It probably makes sense to drop documentation for releases < 2.0. (I would suggest keeping docs for 2.0). For the future I can work on updating the Beam website to clarify the state of each release.
