> At present, retired projects retain their directory under 
> https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/
> However the only content is the .htaccess file which redirects to the Attic.
> As the number of retired projects is bound to increase over time, the dist/release directory will gradually contain more and more of them.
> Would it not be better to add the redirect to the parent .htaccess file and drop the directory with its sole file? Is there any need to keep the directory?
