          <br>
          According to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/usage_quotas">https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/usage_quotas</a>
          we are almost at 5TB of retained job artifacts, and growing.<br>
          <br>
          Do we have any idea of how big that can get before it becomes
          a problem?<br>
          <br>
          I notice that we have selected the option to override the
          `expire_in` job artifact parameter for successful pipelines
          and to instead retain artifacts for the most recent commit on
          each ref indefinitely.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/job_artifacts.html#keep-artifacts-from-most-recent-successful-jobs">https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/job_artifacts.html#keep-artifacts-from-most-recent-successful-jobs</a><br>
          <br>
          Is this necessary or appropriate? We have a _lot_ of branches,
          and it is unclear how/whether artifacts are trimmed for refs
          for branches that have been removed.<br>
          <br>
          If the existing value of `expire_in` is too short, maybe we
          could set it to a longer, but finite time instead of
          "forever".<br>
          <br>
          If we want to further reduce our artifacts volume, we could
          set `expire_in` to something less.<br>
          <br>
          We could also consider generating less artifact volume by
          merging some jobs or stages. The config jobs, for instance,
          take only marginally longer to run than the overhead they
          generate, so we would lose very little CPU/pod time by merging
          them with the build jobs.<br>
          <br>
          Best,<br>
