Please work *extremely* hard to avoid pointing people at
archive.apache.org. That is not mirrored. That should only be
referenced for the *non-supported* releases. Our current releases
should be on tigris.org or on the Apache mirror network. IOW,
archive.apache.org is for the 3 people on the planet who are fetching
1.0.2 for research purposes.

Cheers,

Yeah. Cool. That would work (way at the bottom)... at your
convenience, of course.

Okey dokey.  I don't suppose there's any reason *at all* to provide a link
to the archive site then, is there?  Or would you recommend a section for
"Archived releases" with the pointer there?
