It has been correctly pointed out that some mirrors may have a reason to mirror 
the obsoletes area.  So I will reword the above statement.

The distributions Scientific Linux 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 307 and 308 have 
not been supported since November 2007.  We will be moving these releases into 
a directory called obsolete on February 29, 2008.  They are being moved there 
so that users know that they are no longer supported.  If a user still needs to 
run SL3, the only release still getting security updates is SL 309.

Thank You
