At least in regular EC2 we can remove old AMIs. Note this doesn't 
prevent them from continuing to run or, i *think*, from keeping people 
from cloning their existing AMI and launching more instances.  We might 
have to think about keeping mirrors up for longer / forever inside of 
EC2 for each release for people who are getting security updates for 
newly launched instances or instances that never updated...
