don't think a 'firm policy' is easy to decide - there's a need for some
judjement. i think the rule should be that 'updates' sohuld be kept only
for the last 2 major releases. if there's not enough space, then updates
should be kept for the last major release and one-before-last minor
release (e.g. you have mandrakre 8.2 out now - keep the updates for all
'8.*' versions, as well as  '7.2' - or whatever was the last 7.X version).

other then this - whenever the disk fills up - we need to find what is
least used - and dump it. until we get larger disks, that is.
