really to pkg people

Is it at all possible for the ports/pkg people to QUIT DELETING STUFF!

It's most disconcerting when a quarterly collection of packages 
disappears and one has nowhere to get new packages that match all the 
ones out in the field. Since 10.3 is the latest 10 release and the 
release_3 collection is gettign soemwhat dated, it would be nice to 
have a stable quarterly set to refer to  that is not going to 
disappear in 3 months!

machines get shipped.. they go to customers. They are frozen in time.  
If debugging requires a new package, we have to have copied the entire 
quarterly set  "just in case". because the originals from freebsd have 
done a runner.  Are they archived somewhere?
