'k, moved it all into OLD as well ... haven't removed anything until more
opt in on this ... I do agree that if you really want that old, you can
build from scratch, but I'm also not the one that went to the trouble of
building the binaries :)

If not, they should at least go into OLD as well. But personally, I'm
for dropping them completely. If you're on something that old (heck, we
have 7.0 binaries..), you can still build from source.
Speaking of which, any reason not to drop the 8.1 beta win32 binaries?

The PG community may stop bothering with 7.3 releases
before that.
But I think Marc and Bruce figure "as long as the patches
are in our
CVS we may as well put out a release".
Yeah, thats one of the reasons I am skeptical about having official
policies on this type of thing. If Sun decided they wanted to
maintain 7.2 and were going to dedicate developers and
testing for it,
would we really turn that away? OK, I don't really want to
have this
discussion again, but as of now I think we are all agreed
that 7.2 is unsupported.
We hashed all this out in the pghackers list back in August, but I
agree there ought to be something about it on the website.
We've been kicking it around but haven't moved much on this...
Marc, can you move the 7.2 branches in the FTP under the
OLD directory?
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/
We need to do the same with 7.2 documentation, moving them into the
Manual Archive
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/archive.html.
We can also change the caption on the main documentation
page to note
these are manuals for the current supported versions.
