a compelling reason to keep these projects around, just lots of
suggestions on how to keep them around. Deleted is what we want, not
delisted or saved forever or anything like that. We're not going to
commit any resources to a project that choosed not to use this free
service.
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.
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.
