They're certainly good at keeping old versions of things around. :) I wonder if it's due to a switch from GPLv2 to v3. My understanding is that's why they'll keep bash 3 around forever, and the GPLv3 was published in 2007, between GNU make 3.81 and 3.82.

Anyway, I think we're good, but thanks for double-checking.
