I think you've misinterpreted this. We *don't* try to keep the daily
builds around for more than a few days. They're a moving target. The
only reason that the 2019 images are still around at all is that
they're the last few builds where we had a build for mips. (There's
logic in the cleanup scripts to keep a few builds per architecture.)
I'll clean up those old directories now.
