E.g., what about 20.1 and later? I need everything! ;-) I'd like every minor release, including unreleased versions like 19.0-19.6. RCS version history would be nice, but I think ESR got that, and it wasn't that good for the early versions? I think Emacs 20 and later are well covered by ftp.gnu.org. (Plea to FSF staff: please never throw anything away.) So I consider Emacs 19 and earlier to be old.
