Hello

We (ftp2.ch.freebsd.org) try to keep all 4.10 release related files. 

We save:
FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.10
FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/4.10/*
FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.10-RELEASE/*
FreeBSD/releases/alpha/4.10-RELEASE/*
FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.10-release/*
FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-4.10-release/*

something else?

Regards,
Thomas Vogt
