Hi,
this is a proposal to remove the file
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/index.html
from our FTP-server.
I agree. I've always thought this file was a bad idea, for the reasons
you describe.
If we really want a file here, it should be a symlink to something that
is also served via HTTP, so that we can put it in the wwwdocs
repository. Furthermore, the data about the number of bytes in the
downloads should be either removed, or automatically generated.
