I agree. One 2.0.x, one 2.2.x, eventually one 2.[34].x version.
This has been discussed before, people agreed that there's too much of
the kernel packages in there. You're the FTP admin, please act.

That's not a reason enough for keeping >20MB stuff for every version of
kernel, IMNSHO.
If there is a problem, you can still downgrade to your old kernel image.
Which you did preserve, didn't you[1]? Plus, all of those versions are
kept on ftp.kernel.org for indefinite time. And you can file a bug to
the BTS, too.
[1] "you" doesn't refer to you personally, Brian.
