Hi Steve,

Shortest answer:

Yes.

Slightly longer answer:

Our current technique is to only keep the latest release and its
immediate predecessor in the kernel repository. Older versions can be
found in the archive. (The archive is not carried by every mirror
site. It is the mirror site's owner's / maintainer's choice.) Really
old (as in prehistorically ancient) kernel packages may be kept by the
ELRepo Project in a non-public archive. As of the date of this
message, the kernel-lt-3.0.100-1.el{5|6}.elrepo and
kernel-lt-3.0.101-1.el{5|6}.elrepo package sets are currently
available from the respective kernel repositories. In due course, as
new package sets are built & released, first the
kernel-lt-3.0.100-1.el{5|6}.elrepo package set and then the
kernel-lt-3.0.101-1.el{5|6}.elrepo package set will be transitioned to
the archive.

Alan.
