PS: I also think that at the very least, there ought to be a way to
permanently opt-out a Copr repository out of all future cleanups. Some Coprs
such as the Kannolo Copr should just always be preserved.
I also do not understand why 6 TB of disk space is such an issue in times
where one single HDD can carry up to 16 TB.
AFAIU, the problem is that if something should *always* be preserved,
you're looking at very different hardware (and associated maintenance
work) than a single HDD.
