I think we should always keep a few versions around, so that there is a "sliding time window" over a few releases to pick from. (This might be a proposal for the recipe checklist). There might always be other valid reasons around to keep old, but stable packages releases, for example: - a busybox that just works. - older util-linux that has nfs support versus newer ones that have not, etc. Regards, -- Leon
