Old 2.5.x BK snapshots on kernel.org are now moved into the "old"
sub-directory, instead of being deleted.
The script change is untested... so yell at me if things break when
Linus releases 2.5.64.

It may not be related, but
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/cset/
has "BitKeeper patches since v2.4.21-pre4: 354 Changesets"
(not latest -pre).

Yep, I know :)
The point of nightly snapshots is more for users use and testing
purposes. The csets are very useful for developers, but a bit of a
moving target for users. If users are using the per-cset snapshots,
then it becomes a non-trivial chore to developers to track down exactly
what version of the kernel a problem is reported against.

I'm just used to look there from time to time to see 'what is new', and
AFAIR changes were reported against latest prerelease.

it's not a problem. :)

Csets are useful for users- e.g. if the problem you want to report does
not exist in latest cset -but generaly you are right.
