When the webapp is used to remove a repository, it will set the group to unwanted, which avoids this problem, as well as trying to move any files off of that repository if it can still be accessed. There is not currently a way to express "count the number of clients that don't have the content, excluding ones that are dead" in preferred content syntax. Extending the syntax to support this would need something like "copies=semitrusted+,client:2", which I don't like very much. -- see shy jo
