Comment (by tellyworth):

 The Advanced page has a section for downloading previous versions, we
 could include the final release in that list for these obsolete plugins.

 Moving forward, the Releases page #7783 could incorporate a download
 method with an appropriate warning. I think there's already discussion
 around having a slightly-hidden download menu item for older releases,
 that would probably do the trick.

 I'm in favour of downloads being available, I just don't think it should
 be a big primary button on the main page when it's an obsolete plugin. (It
 might be cool to have a Playground button instead)
