Given that any of these snapshots can be reproduced from the git repository
I do not see any great benefit in maintaining them long term.  My feeling
is that is they will loose their usefulness once an official release is
made, or possibly after two releases.  So how about:

   * Snapshots are retained for at least 1 year after their creation.

   * After that they can be culled at the discretion of the overseers
     (and without needing to consult with the binutils project) as and
     when they wish.

Cheers
