Research direction

Start by understanding the periodic scan that identifies obsolete or unavailable installers and the proposed waiver workflow. Done would mean false download failures no longer trigger automatic deletion, recurring suspected-installers issues are published for community validation, and waivers are removed when no manifests remain for a package.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Sometimes our automated validation isn't able to download an installer. When we run our periodic scan to test all manifests for obsolete (a.k.a. missing/can't download) packages, we get a false result.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Ideas are welcome!

One possibility is: apply some kind of waiver to indicate this is a known scenario so we don't try to automatically delete the affected installer once a waiver has been granted. We could then publish an issue on some recurring basis with the suspected installers. The community could validate and remove any of the installers / manifests for packages that are actually missing.

We would also need to clean up / remove the waivers when no manifests remain for a package.
