The question is what is your favourite nuke target? Whole distros including binaries and sources or sources only? In theory you can nuke the sources and place a note that you will be sending out DVD copies to whomever asks for it, but that's probably not what you want :) How about moving EOL'd (or EOL'd + DeltaT, where DeltaT is something like 0.5 or one year) distros out of downloads.... and into archives.... similar to the RHL releases? You keep the bits around indefinitely w/o heavying the mirrors. GPL and IT archeologists are happy and mirrors are happy, too. Or you trust Moore's law that is exponential mirror capacity increase compared to Fedora's linear :) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
