Yes, I think we should rename them.
Renaming repositories in general as needed: +1
Rename squeeze to stable: +1
Rename squeeze-dev: +1
-- You'll note that I'm not sure whether it should be 'testing' or 
'development'.

Keeping reallyoldstable: -0
-- I'm kind of on the fence. It would be great to install an older stable 
version, but what is the point of hosting it, when someone could follow the 
instructions on the wiki 
(http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages_-_The_Easy_Way, 
for example) and roll their own earlier distribution from a git 
installation.

Renaming by version number: -1
-- I don't think having to do the modifications gives us added benefits, 
does it?

Which is a good thing!
