To me this makes 100% sense. Generally you won't need them every day. As said 
before, if you are looking for an old release, it is now easy to fine. You can 
also download Lucene 1.0.1 !!! (phantastic, no idea where 1.0 is - sourceforge 
only?)

The abandoned branches under history are easy to reactivate (as said before), 
just branch off the tag - done.

Finally, Github also orders the drop downlist in correct order (backwards by 
version), so where is the issue? If you figured out how its ordered, you can 
switch very fast. Many thanks for this, I am fully happy. Really everything is 
there - in contrast to SVN where you have to search!

Uwe
