They should freeze dormants project instead, deleting code is too harsh. Imagine someone have a vital piece of code hosted there.

Just freeze them on a kind of S3 Glacier hosting, cheap when few reads occurs. If trying to access it, display a confirm message to revive the repo.

Not a vital piece, but I think I do have a few there. Mostly GitHub through. Worth logging in some time, and maybe move some to GitHub.

Or IPFS which is free. They just need to redirect it to cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/:cid/:repo_path

Docker did something like this a few years ago -- and I lost some images that just worked. Ohh well.
