Thank you for the note. It's an ongoing process and we actively monitor and clean as we can.

Eclipse Foundation is a community of over 400 OSS projects and we've (luckily) been experiencing consistent growth over the years, but growth has actually accelerated in recent years. This is a good problem to have, but the side effect is a long tail of OSS projects with binaries that are mirrore.

The positive aspect for mirror maintainers is that you do not need to manage those 400+ projects individually, the Eclipse IT team provides an interface to the group.

We very much appreciate your time, effort, compute resources and bandwidth in helping these projects distribute their binaries. We could not do it without you.
