Hi all,

Are the download pages for older Python versions supposed to be kept up to date at all? I just noticed that the 2.4.6 download page (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.6/) says things like "Python 2.4 is now in security-fix-only mode" (whereas in fact it no longer gets even security fixes), and "Python 2.6 is the latest release of Python." While checking to see if there was a SIG that would be more appropriate for this question, I also noticed that if one clicks on Community | Mailing Lists in the left sidebar of python.org, there's a "Special Interest Groups" link under "Mailing Lists" which is a 404 (not to mention redundant, as there's also one parallel to "Mailing Lists" that works). (Please do let me know if there is a more appropriate forum for website issues/questions).

I would send the above to webmaster at python.org (should be at the bottom of pages). We develop CPython but do not directly manage the website.
