[I agree with Casper: project gates should stay in sync...]

In the interest of historical curiousity, it seems like we might want to
something more phased:

        - All builds for the past 6 months will be preserved
        - Every 5th build for the past two years will be preserved.
        - The first and last build of any given release will be
          preserved in perpetuity.

Would that work?  That would mean that someone would always have the
means to make a meaningful comparison between say, build 1 and build 70.
