linux-firmware.git is supposed to support all released kernel versions,
as the directory-per-version scheme doesn't work that well (you need a
new directory/package for every stable update and every different
flavour installed).  You may notice we don't even have tags indicating
addition of support for new kernel versions; we never really have the
complete set anyway.

So we must *not* remove old files unless there are no released kernel
versions that refer to them.  In this case I backed out the deletion
when applying this.  Please only add files in future, unless you're sure
the old files are unreferenced.

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
