We need a way to remove superseded librarian binaries from obsolete distroseries

Specifically, if it's something we do as a matter of course, then there should be exactly zero human intervention required to do this.

It's a matter of course after checking with the platform team. I'd be happy
to put a button on the series page and let them do it if the LOSAs ask for
space reclamation.

How about a reminder screen showing
 - space saved
 - series status

or some such?

If we are doing this more pro actively, there should be no need tp set
the expiry date into the past. The stay of execution gives us a chance
to reverse any blunders without resorting to the backups.

Hell YES. :-)

Including an indication of "wasted" space would be great.

If the platform team approve, perhaps we don't even need to have a button for them to push. We could do something like setting the expiry date in the future once a package enters the appropriate state.

If we could add built-in obsolescence that'd be great. If we get a messaging
system sorted too, it could kick off a number of different jobs to do with
that ;)

Judging from the query, it's not something that needs a messaging system. Just setting 'expires' on the librarian records when the status, archive, distroseries etc are all aligned properly. Hardly blue-sky.

We need an event generated at the point the series becomes obsolete that runs
some soyuz jobs that sets the publishing records to "obsolete", and then
expires the librarian files. I don't really care too much how the event is
propagated but it's yet more weight for a messaging system.
