hell no!

apart from the historical value of those tarballs, they are an
immensive important resource to figure evolution of specific
code sections.
for some gtk code paths, the original intend could only
be figured by reviewing context diffs, up the very first releases
made by peter (which i was lucky enough to keep around).

don't dare removing any tarballs or patches! ;)

just ftp://gtk.org/pub/glib/unstable/v1.3/ should really
be taken off the site, that glib-1.3.0.tar.gz tarball just
keeps confusing people and does in now way reflect the
development work that went into glib-1.3 (and is by no
means "official" anyways).
