Since 2.4 is out, and we'll have binary pkgsrc packages for it soon, the
2.0 packages are due to be removed.  If this will cause you trouble,
please speak up.

The plan is to keep packages for the current release (2.4) and the
previous release (2.2), which gives us a binary package retention
schedule of about a year.

If possible, I would recommend (and request) keeping packages available for at least two previous releases rather than just one.

It is really bad to keep around packages we don't build anymore, because they get outdated and accumulate security problems. And we don't have the resources to keep building packages.


I think we should keep around what we can build for at the moment, and not a bit more.
