Comment (by arma):

 boklm: I encourage you to (1) establish a policy that is convenient for
 you, write it down in a few sentences, and (2) take a look at who else
 seems to be using dist and see if they like your proposed policy.

 See also related tickets like #29418 and #29419 (and really, most of the
 open tickets in the dist component).

 Our plans could be annotated in
 
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/operations/Infrastructure/dist.torproject.org
 for others to follow along.

 Yes.

 > It seems like longer term, the dist team should come up with a policy of
 what stays on dist, and what gets deleted (but still kept on archive) to
 keep dist unconfusing to people. Especially since we're pointing more
 people directly to dist now that our new website doesn't link to some of
 the things.

 Having a clear policy for this sounds like a good idea. The current policy
 for the Tor Browser directory is that we only keep the latest two stable
 and alpha releases (mainly because there is not enough space to keep
 more), but the policy seems to be different in the other directories.

 I think we should remove the two following directories:
 https://dist.torproject.org/torbutton/
 https://dist.torproject.org/win32/

 The `torbutton` directory contains an old version of torbutton.
 Downloading this version of torbutton and using it is probably not a good
 idea.

 The `win32` directory contains a old version of Tor for Windows, which
 should probably not be used anymore. Instead Windows users should use the
 "expert bundle" which can be found in the torbrowser directory.
