Yes!
Although i really understand Adrian's point of view, too. Lets have a look at 
other projects:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/  ,  
ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/
The old images are still _available_ but marked as "old" and "unsupported".

I would really propose to leave 10.1 in the BS for some time, but move it to 
e.g. discontinued: . Also on ftp (repo + update) . So people can softly 
migrate if needed - but notice it because of changed ftp-space. 
E.g. what about a popup for YOU (of 10.1) displaying the EOL-Annoucement and 
propose an update-path after install of latest updates.


Best regards
