Comment (by hguemar):

 1. => (3) I agree with Dusty on that point but just consider keeping it in
 all region, because his point also works for third-party service providers
 and software editors who would like to do their testing in a more local
 region.
 2. => (1) If we want to remain interesting for end-users, then, we
 shouldn't delete even EOL'ed releases too soon. What's preferrable would
 be
 a) communicating on lifecycle of images.
 b) having at startup, a message indicating to users that this image is no
 longer supported and that it will be deleted at some point.
 Let's allow end-users to prepare the transition to a newer image, just
 remember that our current lifecycle (~13 months) is too short for
 entreprises.
