Sam,

Thanks for the help.

Could it be that the package service is actually deleting old versions of 
packages when new ones are uploaded?
The package service doesn't host any packages at all; just the
metadata about them and pointers to where they are stored.

This is an interesting answer, but it's an answer to a question slightly different from the one I intended.  Please allow me to refine my question:

For a given package, does the package service hold information about historical versions, or only information about the latest version?


Jeff

In fact there are two concepts here, and part of what I think confused you is 
something I just discovered this week and plan to report as a bug: 
https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/pkgs-all does not include the package's version . 
. .
It seems that the issue you raise applies more generally than to /pkgs-all.  
See appended below curl commands that show that the package version is also 
missing in the response to a request for information on a specific package.
