In fact, the most annoying thing is to go to the files section and
find there files of several years ago that are not used anymore, or
that come from a mistake and they will remain there for years and
years more, making more difficult to review the other files.

The possibility of seeing only the "tip" in that section has somehow
alleviated the problem, but this inconvenient still remains there.

For me, the "all" subsection of the "files" section should contain all
the files of current and previous releases that we have not explicitly
marked as of no interest anymore. One possible way of doing this would
be to mark some branches as of "no interest" anymore for day to day
work, except for archaeological purposes.
