The ASF has asked us to tidy our distribution directory. So I would like to use this opportunity to clarify our archive policy going forward. The things to note are: * All releases are permanently archived by the ASF * Only current releases need to be in the main distribution directory * The main distribution directory is mirrored around the world * This is why we need to limit our use of it * These current releases are linked to from downloads.html * Whatever we have advertised there is what is mirrored The questions I have in mind are: * How many point releases do we want to have on downloads.html at any one time? * If we release X.X.1, do we remove X.X.0 from that page? I think that about covers it.
