I think it is fair to ask, if a tool was available for an older version of OpenSuSE, it should remain available for that older version, in some kind of archive/repo until perhaps storage space is overwhelmed.

Marc has a point,
Many times it is simply a conscious decision on the part of the repo maintainer to uncheck the "publish" flag in buildservice. There really isn't a need for that. The packages are still built, just not published and the repo is hidden.
The frustrating point is for the same repo, version for 13.x and 42.x are still be present, it's just the last most recent versions that have reached eol that are hidden.
The mozilla repo is a good example where 15.4 just recently "disappeared" after the post regarding the 115->128 ver. profile changes were discussed on this list.
So, how best to resolve this issue? Bug report? Let this topic play out on this news group longer? Just curious! Marc...
