This is becoming a FAQ... 

Shouldn't FreeBSD keep copies of older versions around? I don't know the
older versions but if they have lesser hardware requirements (i.e. smaller
RAM, smaller HD Space, smaller CPUs...) they should be left around for
people who want to use a great UNIX and who can't afford a hardware
upgrade...

Any comments anyone?
