Don't remove download links for older versions
We are customers of IntelliJ Idea Ultimate and several other products.
Would be possible to stop removing old download urls for IntelliJ Idea? We are trying (like many other people) to automate our workstation setups using chocolatey. On every minor version change the old version url is removed or disabled and Chocolatey stops working until a new version is updated and approved.
Would be helpful the links work at least until a major version change or at least take ownership of the IntelliJ Packages on the chocolatey Repo.
https://chocolatey.org/packages/intellijidea-ultimate
Also would love to have a folder name that doesn't change with the version name, that makes it difficult to deploy configs to all our users since we have to match the folder name with the app version. Why we can not just use IntelliJ Ultimate as folder name?

We have removed some old versions that contained security problems: https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2016/05/11/security-update-for-intellij-based-ides-v2016-1-and-older-versions/.
Otherwise, previous versions can be found at http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/Previous+IntelliJ+IDEA+Releases and we keep several previous build downloads online.
Folder change is by design, you can customize it per https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207240985.
