I do.  Previous updates are valuable for QA.

I've brought this up a few times before.  Instead of making an attic/
directory to which old updates are moved (causing mirrors to
re-download them), how about making a latest/ directory that symlinks
or hardlinks to only the newest updates?  Then people who only want
the newest can sync against latest/.
