 We have some spins which are rather outdated, a few perhaps are even dead.
 We should make it impossible to access the download tab in these spin
 pages.

 Solution:
 * Check on the JSON file if the spin is available before displaying the
 spin page with the download tab
 * Check and remove variables (curr_id), if they are used outside the
 download tab

Comment (by sijis):

 I would discourage the ability to remove older spins from being
 downloaded.

 The only exception i could think of is if the last version of the spin is
 already on an EOL version of Fedora. This would mean a person could still
 download a spin version that's 1.5 years old.

 A thought would be not to necessarily delete the spins page but maybe add
 it to a spins.fp.o/archive/<spin-name> location.

Comment (by robyduck):

 Actually the only spin which is not EOL is the Games Spin. All the others
 are <= Fedora 14.

 As we have the globalvar.py file for the curr_id I've hidden the download
 tab for now (otherwise there appeared Fedora 18 Games Spin!), but if we
 have other solutions they are welcome.\\
 It's not a problem changing the variables with the number of the release
 (i.e. 17 instead of curr_id) when a spin isn't available for the last
 version of Fedora, but changing it, will break the translation
 strings...not a good fix.

Comment:

 Fedora.next is around the corner, we will drop spins.fpo for the next
 release and will redesign the pages. See #248 to know more.
