So we can do something like a sh script that will be executed by cron
each week:
it searches multiple packages of a source and if there are more than 3
versions it deletes the oldest one. SO we will have the current and the
old of each package.

Who wanna make this script?
Are we sure that if someone will make this script it will be added by
default?
