Well, because sooner or later, you'll delete a project that someone
didn't want deleted, and they'll be ticked off. Maybe they'll open a
ticket and convince the infra. team to restore the data from a backup,
or maybe they'll just be ticked off and rant about how much Fedora
sucks for deleting this thing they didn't want deleted.
I'm fine with that. Its well documented. and its not like we're going to
rm -rf the thing. We'll keep it around for a while but no promises.
Again, I'm assuming the per-project maintenence cost is near zero
(ie,
a little bit of disk space). If not, then maybe I could see a case
for automatically deleting old projects.
Ah, thats an incorrect assumption.
