The current problem is, users who visit the official downloads page
(http://qt-project.org/downloads) are given no way to get Qt 5.1.1 or
5.2.0. It says "all older versions of Qt are available in
[http://download.qt-project.org/archive/]";, which is incomplete. This
incomplete page should be updated, at the very least.

Would the official downloads page be sufficient for "those looking
recently released packages"? If I want a version that's not the latest
release, the first place I'd check is the archive.

Also, there are no links to
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/ from the Qt
Project website, AFAICS. How do users find it?

What do you think of this arrangement?:
- When a packages are released, put them straight in the archive
- Make http://qt-project.org/downloads a simple front-end that points
to the latest packages in the archive
- Then, no extra maintenance is required when the next release comes
- (To preserve any existing links, redirect requests for
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/ to
http://download.qt-project.org/archive/)
