I share the latest for a *long* time. During the period after major
update release, I share only the latest. The rational for this is that
the greatest demand will be for the latest, I have only a home
connection with limited upload bandwidth and it is most beneficial
allocated to where there is anticipated highest demand and greatest
number of benefiting users.
After a while, I add back in older releases.
