Comment 2 for bug 485894

Yes this is a dup because er are unable to identify what what we mean by current. This has something to do with the series. Your proposal to not allow obsolete series is sound, but in the case you cite, most the of the series are active. It is not clear if latest release is development or stable, or, which is why I am not working on the main bug.

The answer may relate to our understanding of the users who download. I believe most users get their code from a distro. A hacker is using the source. I suppose the user who wants a specific release is an admin who need to manage a non-standard set to tools to manage a system.
