I agree. Old versions can also be useful when testing backwards compatability of scripts etc. Now that the python policy supports multiple versions and a default version, having old versions around doesn't hurt.

Removing them buys nothing but a little archive space. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ----------------------------------------------------------------------
