I think it would be nice to keep the ancient history around; "software
archeology" research sometimes look at open-source projects.  That said,
they don't necessarily need to be on that particular web server.
Something like Amazon Glacier could work well for that, or maybe google
drive... there are other storage platforms available.
(and no, I'm not in a position to offer to take care of this)

I fully support deleting all test-output for non-current development
versions.  (though again, in an ideal world they would be stored on some
other server or service)
