How about this: 

* always keep the src.rpm around for anything in the SRPMS repo. Since
  this repo isn't used directly much it shouldn't matter that it grows.
  If we need an old package for some reason we can just rebuild it. 

* Once per cycle we clean out the i386/x86_64 packages that are no
  longer installed on any machine.

(As a side note, I am thinking we should setup a Housekeeping SOP for
once per cycle a few weeks after release... we can then do this, prune
people who don't need to be in sysadmin groups anymore, prune hosted
projects or lists, etc. Of course thats another topic).
