When you say "all" I hope you're not talking about non-final releases?

It's OK for me (for final releases).

I was the one who deleted older releases, mostly to avoid offering kits
with security problems, and to have a cleaner download page. With about
ten releases per year I feared the page would become cluttered over time.

What about deleted kits? I don't have the time to recreate all these.
