In a perfect world we'd never delete anything. *But*, as many of
you might have suspected, the world isn't perfect.
We just didn't have the disk space to keep all that stuff around,
and neither do the mirrors. The whole 3.0.3 distribution for both
Intel and Alpha as near a gig of stuff...most mirrors would have
dropped it like a wet noodle anyway.
