Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how Xcodes discovers available Xcode releases and handles downloads, then compare that path for Xcode 5 or 6 versions. Done means those still-available old versions can be downloaded from the developer site through Xcodes.

Description

bug

I don't necessarily need to run them, they probably wouldn't run anyway, but they're still available for download from the developer site, and so should be from Xcodes.
