AFAIK Incoming projects (like Platform / CDT) discard M and RC builds just after GA. EPP's retention policy is to only keep releases (repos and full products) after release. I am supposed to do the cleanup on each release, but I sometimes run out of time and clean up multiple releases in one go. It is one of the steps in my release checklist.
