It should be restored ASAP since at the moment it makes the download page deliver a 404 when v3.4.1 is requested from the dropdown.

Indeed, that was what I meant by "not promoting". At a minimum the page should have a prominent warning that the versions in the table are very old, legacy versions with known security issues and should not be used unless the user is fully aware of what they are doing. That way anyone clicking through to it from a search result will be sufficiently warned. We should just rely on SEO. S.
