IMHO, this whole "delete by default" concept is inherently flawed and
dangerous and cannot be fixed. Notification e-mails can be lost in so many
ways (wrong Fedora notification settings, e-mail provider issues, spam
filter false positives, out-of-quota mailbox, etc.) or be missed due to
being offline for a prolonged period of time. It should never be allowed to
delete users' data without their explicit confirmation. Especially in this
case where it is not even possible to reupload the data because Copr can no
longer build for those EOL chroots (which is another quite annoying
limitation of Copr – allowing to build for EOL releases would also allow
people to try backporting select security fixes to those releases Fedora no
longer wants to support).
