I for one would be interested in seeing a complete and un-corrupt 0.99
set of kernels in ./Historic/v0.99/ as they are valuable information on
"the way things used to be". For example, I had to look back at the 0.99
kernels when I wanted to restore uncompressed kernel images to v1.0.9.

(But then again, not everybody would bother to make kernel v1.0.9 build
cleanly and run with gcc-2.7.2/libc5/all-ELF :)
