Further, dist.a.o is mapped out of Subversion. So all of those releases are in there, forever. You can 'svn rm' all the dirs you listed, and they'll disappear off of dist.a.o. But not from archive.a.o or svn history. Discoverability/browsing/trimming/clean (DBTC) is the net effect, of your proposed change. No data loss. My request is simply that the DBTC has been found desirable by the Incubator over the past 15 years, in various forms/amounts, so it would be nice to see you plant a stake in the ground. Infra can then easily follow that, without having to wonder/ask. Cheers, -g
