First off - hey, everybody, listen, up! - NEVER post to both the
mailing list and the newsgroup, since they are gatewayeed to each
other, and you end up posting twice. Or more.
Second off - this is a local systems management issue. Do what you
want. However, me, Joe, I would at least keep a reference copy of the
old versions somewhere [preferably unexecutable and not in a $PATH].
