Older PRONOM updates (eg 0bbf39d) don't keep the old version around, but update & rename the DROID_SignatureFile-V##.xml, formats-v##.xml and pronom-xml-v##.zip. Newer updates to PRONOM (eg #81)have kept the older version around, presumably as a reference/backup. Is there a benefit to keeping the old versions around or should they be deleted? They're still available in the version history if something goes wrong with the new version, but wouldn't be easily available in a non-development install.
