So please keep whatever tarball was ever used in a LibreOffice build on the
server for at least 12 months.

Where does the value 12 come from?

I am curious about that too :-) Personally I would say "do not ever
remove tarballs from dev-www!"

Well, 12 months was just a minimum. I have not issue with using "never"
instead. ;)

12 months was just a rough estimate of "two major releases" which would be good
enough for bibisect at least.

those of us who fix regression bugs occasionally have reason to re-built
essentially arbitrarily old revisions, and i've personally been
frustrated this year by the repository zoo of pre-3.5 days making that
essentially impossible; please let's not add another way to make it more
difficult.
