Excellent Guillaume!
To satisfy those that oppose this, you could have a page set up and
clearly marked as "old versions repository" and supply a link to the
current developers site.
This gives those that want access to old versions all within the one
repository AND newcomers will be made aware that they are out-of-date
versions and be redirected to the developers site.
