I agree. Removing ancient versions will deprive some people of trying out curl
on some machines altogether and make it seem like running curl isn't even
possible in that environment. Maybe older versions could be de-emphasized
somehow or have a warning displayed about the dangers (unpatched security
issues), but I'd be annoyed if I couldn't download a binary for my favourite
obsolete system without a compiler when it exists somewhere on the net. Just
yesterday someone posted asking about a DOS version of libcurl, for example.
