Yes, that's what it should do for non-current releases.

The dist area should be for the current version(s) only.

Once a new release has been out a short while, any superseded releases
should be deleted from dist.
The download page can point to archives.a.o for individual older
releases, or can just contain a generic link to archive.a.o.
