I'm not sure that it would make sense to keep all old patches for the
development versions (labeled "unstable"). Sometimes, the patches are
rather big and it would be useless keep more than a couple of versions
around because downloading all the patches from version 1.1.x to the
current version could take more time than downloading the latest
source package.
This is exactly my point. I have found precisely that patches are
about 2 MB in size, so more than two and you might as well download
the whole package.
From my point of view, once 1.1.18 is released patches to 1.1.17 (and
earlier) are outdated.
Ben.
