Are the 0.660 / 2.17 and current versions really different (gameplay,
license, ...) or are the former two just older?  In my opinion, in the
former case it would make sense, in the latter not so much and just
keeping the latest versions would make life easier for everyone.  In
case you want the repocopy, just send in a PR with a "repocopy" marker
somewhere.
