Some people are still mirroring the 'old' releases. Below is an excerpt of the last mail about this topic from the legacy list. Hope any of this suits your needs.

If the numbers start to drop, we'll probably take it down sooner than that. Current stats: RPMS downloaded in November: 5987 RPMS downloaded in December: 10620 RPMS downloaded in January: 3006 RPMs downloaded since Feb 1: 19799 So, at least some people still find us useful. :+D We don't think, from a security point of view, that it is responsible to encourage people to use older systems by leaving them up longer than a year. But that gives people time to find a suitable migration path. Dave </pre> </body> </html>
