it seems even when logged in with salsa, the maximum retention time is 90 days.
Is there a problem of mis-use even by salsa users?

I certainly was using paste.debian.net to distribute some text files "forever".
This will break various links in old mails I've sent, in forum posts or other
places where I wanted to link to snippets which I intended to be distributed
for a longer time.

Is there a problem with disk space? It would be a bit sad if all these old
links would be broken and the content behind them lost forever.

This also means that I have to look for other another place than paste.d.n for
this kind of purpose and salsa snippets are no replacement due to how slow
and sluggish the web interface is.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
