Re: Pruning old vendor update packages?

Could that be fixed? Mirrors would be grateful, and the use of such
before-EOL-obsoleted packages is very small.

i'm sorry to continue the trend of dissenting voices to every sensible suggestion, but there is one major use of old update packages: they're invaluable for rollback, in the (hopefully unlikely) event that a newly-released package breaks something. if the removal of superseded updates from the mirrors is automated, is there any chance we could always keep the *two* most recent, not just the most recent?
