bq. So AFAICT, 0.94.25 should NOT be present, as it has been superseded by 
0.98.x

This is incorrect, as I have explained above.

We have four active release branches: 0.94, 0.96, 0.98, 0.99 (1.0 preview)
{quote}

We have active users of 0.94, so no later release "supersedes" it in the manner 
you suggest. We actively support our 0.94 line and have a RM for it making 
monthly-ish releases. These are all *current* releases.

However, it is true we are keeping the latest release and also one version back 
in dist/. I suppose you can make the argument that we don't need to keep that 
one version back in dist/, we could point users at the archives. I don't have a 
personal opinion one way or the other on that, as RM for 0.98 I'm conforming to 
the evident consensus practice.

We have active users of 0.94, so no later release "supersedes" it in the manner 
you suggest. We are not forcing our users to upgrade to later releases by 
making all 0.94 artifacts unavailable. We actively support our 0.94 line and 
have a RM for it making monthly-ish releases.
