I agree with this statement. However, I've agreed with Renaud yesterday that keeping old version on the site generally places much more burden on him/them. People tend to ask question concerning all versions. A solution? Could be something posted on the site like "Most questions concerning old version will not be answered by Nessus.org".

Why would you want to download an > older and known-to-be-buggy version ? sometimes bugs creap into seldomly-used code-parts or are only activated in seldom environments/situations. They may not be detected during a number of releases after introduced. It then is helpful to test with older versions to compare whether the problem was introduce between two versions. I experienced this a number of times (not with nessus though).
