What kind of throughput is needed for a repository that has not seen any new
builds for 2 years? Such a repository is going get only a handful downloads
and no uploads. Instead of deleting old repositories, they can be moved to a
low-throughput archive storage. This can be made transparent through
symlinks, union file systems, or even just at the HTTPS level if Copr itself
knows how to unarchive a repository when internally needed (e.g., if a new
build is submitted after 2 years of inactivity).
