I am not sure when this was. The old tarballs starting with 4.0.0 are 
actually still available for download if you know the url. They have 
been removed from project/files and thus project.modules does not pick 
them up anymore. Where earlier releases are stored I don't know. A page 
from the internet archive shows that 3.0 wasn't available for download 
anymore in 2003.

It is possible they never made the transition to the new hardware. I've 
never seen the mythical Drupal 1.0 tarball myself.

What we did shortly after the 4.7 release was to move the old betas and 
rcs outside of project/files.
