The 2.1 release or 2.x series....and if only 2.1...don't download...it is assumed that you always download latest in series.

I know, but if someone installs this version the machines get's schema 7000 and then every upgrade will crash... that's why I say unpublish it to make sure nobody is able to use this version any more. If something is downloadable it will be used.

No. If someone have simpletest 1.x installed he have schema version -1 or 0. If he installed 6.x-2.1 he now runs update hook 7000 and finishes with schema version 7000 as there is a major bug update hook naming bug in 2.1. Now if you upgrade to 2.2 or higher the upgrade hooks 6000, 6001 and 6002, etc are simply skipped as schema is already 7000.

As a follow up you receive bug cases that have database issues, inconsistencies and so on. That's also the case why you should commit #334679: Multiple upgrade bugfixes for simpletest and release a new version asap.

I would really prefer not to unpublish it as I like the record. No one should download it anyway....not common practice to unpublish releases with bugs, kinda whole point.
