I think yes we should keep them. One of the first things I look at when coming across an open source project is the release history as it gives you a good indication of how much life there is in the project. Maybe from that we don't need actual links to the download artifacts, but something clearly showing we do regular releases and have been doing so for years is a Good Thing IMHO. Another reason is if someone is debugging some old system with a back level release they may need access to the source distro to debug the code. ...ant
