I don't see any reason to keep them, and archiving/removing them would
probably be good for the overall health of jenkins. Larry, is there a
best practice for doing this? I would think just backup the job
directories, remove them, and restart jenkins? We could, of course,
remove them through the jenkins api also, but rm/restart may be quite a
bit faster.

We could probably write a groovy script for jenkins that takes in a list of regexes. Then for each job that matches on of the regexs we:

  copy to a backup directory
  delete the job

This is probably slow but has 2 nice benefits:

1) easy to test. we could make the script do a dry run the first time

2) eliminates downtime
