The only reason we deleted pre-releases in the past is for space limit
constraints (PyPI has a serious issue with approving limit increase
requests). We may have to do that again, but shouldn't delete anything less
than 2 years old. I've always kept the last 2 years of pre-releases as well
as the 1.0 pre-releases which are of historical interest.

Cheers,
Ralf
