I have a complete (I think) set of i386 RPMS for both Red Hat 6.2 and
7.0.  Is there any reason to keep more than 1 or two old versions of the
binaries around?  The only reason for keeping a couple of older ones
around is so that people can get an older release when they grab a new
package and it's totally screwed up.  Oh, I should cc this to the new
gnome-packaging list, and see what thoughts are there...
