I agree with removal but not immediately. Personally I already had
issues with another web application: it worked in my installation, but
people were unable to use it after security fix. Since having vulnerable
but working installation is better then "fixed" but broken, I'd rather
always kept old versions for some time. Also it's not a big problem to
have old versions in the tree since you have to specify version number
explicitly to install them...
