Do you mind me asking why exactly do we keep 0.2.1x around, even the
actual debian stable distri has already 0.2.35x included. That version
is so old that it really creeps me out.

Shouldn't it be a general policy to keep at least just systems around
with the actual stable version from the tor website ?

The metrics stats are also showing that 0.2.1x is barely existing
anymore, just dump em. Why exactly is 0.2.0x still listed there ?

Just a few thoughts.
