Usually it's best to leave unless you're short of space is if you share
the machine, they can still get at the older version (if they had an
older LTIB, or just wanted it).

Yes that's it.

Once you've tested it, can you send a patch to the list and I'll commit
the change to CVS, I'll also upload the pristine tarball to the GPP.

If you think you'll make regular contributions, I can give you CVS write
access and a password for the GPP upload.
