GitLab plans to delete dormant projects in free accounts (Register)

The Register reportsthat GitLab is planning to start deleting repositories belonging to freeaccounts if they have been inactive for at least a year.

GitLab is aware of the potential for angry opposition to the plan,and will therefore give users weeks or months of warning beforedeleting their work. A single comment, commit, or new issue postedto a project during a 12-month period will be sufficient to keepthe project alive.
