I'm not sure what you are saying.  If you mean that every package
should retain only its last version, then this is certainly not right:
we keep some old versions for a good reason.

So here's the list of packages that I _know_ should be retained
(explanations available upon request):

I think people who ported or developed the relevant packages should
each state what versions need to be retained and which can be deleted.
It's not wise to clean-sweep the repository without asking them.
