I don't have a strong preference either way and am fine with either policy.
Immediate archival of older releases has the benefit that we can address it
in a straightforward way as part of the release process. Is there any
advantage of keeping the older releases in svn as deleting a release from
svn seems to archive it (
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#how-to-archive) and we can
always link to the archived release from the website. We can continue to
show the older releases on the download page.
