I thought all the really old versions were pushed over to ftp-archive
already?

I should think that someone who chooses to look into an 8.1
subdirectory, when there are 8.2 etc right next to it, is already
well aware that he's grabbing an old version.  I'm not sure that
this proposal offers more than an annoying nag message.
