we right now have a script that maintains the composite based on
what is there
on downloads. so it would find stuff on archives
maintaining the composites with scripts on jenkins
is the biggest pain i can imagine
i would like to see better support to maintain e.g.
composite updates sites for that.
but with 2 releases i think this is the death to
composite updates sites for
multiples releases in general as there is not much to
find.
I don't see the relationship here. One can have a
composite site with as many versions as they want on
downloads pointing to 2 versions from downloads and rest
from archive and even have that transparent thanks to
redirects (aka no change in the composite site when
archiving). The discussion here is what is on downloads (aka
mirrored).

Please let me know if you have any questions
or concerns.
In https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/78
it's written "download.e.o must only contain
the last 2 releases. Older releases must be
moved to archives". IMHO it would be good if
this is either enforced that way for
everything(!) or changed to some other
number (for which there is agreement it
makes sense) and again enforced.
IMHO, such a check should be part of release or
progress reviews and actions required from
projects. Having smth happening regularly, being
well defined and actionable is what we should aim
for rather than the current "exclude" lists and
generally costing time to people involved in many
projects to just go and check if any of the dozens
projects involved in is guilty.
