Actually I just picked  abiword as an example (because it is one of
the first things that shows up, alphabetically speaking).
Actually the opie recipes that have versions 1.2.2, 1.2.3 and 1.2.4
for which the .4 fis already quite old and the others seen obsolete
bother me just as much

Rationale of getting rid of the old recipes is that it decreases parsing time.
And note that it is a git, so the old data remains available in the
git for those who want to access it. (actually that *is* one of the
purposes of a version control system)
