Redirection is the alternative I was thinking of, yep.

The README_historic_cleanup.txt doesn't actually show up in the dir listings on 
www.apache.org/dist or the archive for me, which is why I referred to it in the 
dist.apache.org repo since I didn't realise it is actually there on the others. 
Link updated.

We have cleared out all the non-current releases, except some older qpid-proton 
releases totalling about 15MB where removing them will break some other 
projects, due to a historic issue now outlined 
[here|https://www.apache.org/dist/qpid/proton/README_historic_cleanup.txt].  
I'll work with [~kgiusti], [~jr...@redhat.com] and infra to see if there is 
some other way we can address the issue without breaking existing users.
