Обсуждение: Time to remove betas and RCs from FTP archive?

Marc,

I think that the 9.0 betas and RCs need to go away off the FTP archive.They are now obosolete, and are likely confusing
users.

How are they confusing users?

While I agree they should go away eventually, I'm not sure we ought to
drop them immediately after 9.0.0 release.  Somebody who's trying to
migrate data off a beta release might need the source code for it,
for instance.  I'd be inclined to leave 'em there for a month or so.

How have we dealt with this in the past?

I think after 8.4 we took down the betas almost immediately.  But I
could be misremembering.

its never been a fast / automatic process ... but, I could move those 
files over to ftp-archives.postgresql.org temporarily so that we have 
copies *just in case* someone needs, and remove it in a month or two ...

Thoughts?
