Partially due to the up-coming Mars.1 release, but also due to 
"complaints" of "too many I-builds" in repository composite, I plan to 
remove "old builds" a little earlier than usual -- not a lot earlier, but 
enough that I wanted to give "early warning" since some may have to update 
build scripts before the weekend. 

For the I-builds, after I promote our M2 build, I will quickly delete all 
I-build before I20150914-2000. Then, I will remove the rest of the old 
ones next Wednesday, after our first I-build towards M3. 

For M-builds, on Friday, I will remove all of them before our final 
release candidate of 4.5.1RC3. 

This removal means from both the downloads site, and the software 
repository sites. 

If any one knows that they will not be able to adjust their build scripts 
or dependencies in time, please let me know by replying to 
[email protected] and I'll leave what you need.

Off topic, but interesting, I considered "archiving" the 4.4.2 release, 
since 4.5 has been out for a while, and 4.5.1 is about to come out, but 
found that the number of downloads has been about the same for 4.4.2 and 
4.5.  So ... will leave it on the mirrored download site a little longer. 
Perhaps after 4.5.1 comes out there will be less demand for the older 
4.4.2? 

Number of downloads since July 1: 

R4.4.2: Total: 28905

R4.5:   Total: 25433
