No, you won't.

I don't remember having deleted _any_ old releases.  When did this  
become a policy?  When where the other old releases deleted?  Who  
decided this?

IMO, it is better to keep old releases around.  People with a clue  
know that these might be insecure.  This is such basic knowledge that  
believing otherwise is almost insulting.

If you deleted old releases (without asking), you deleted the  
original Drupal 1.0.0 and Drupal 2.0.0 release.  These were not in  
CVS yet.  I hope that these are still around!

As I mentioned before, with enough people to help, I'd be happy to  
commit patches to the DRUPAL-4-5 and DRUPAL-4-6 branch.  Whether it  
is officially maintained or not.
