I agree about size rules but I don't like the idea of deleting: deleting
part of release notes for old releases would be like deleting our history.

Are you concerned about disk space or bandwidth consumption? Disk space
can be addressed by having rules for upload size and the bandwidth
consumption should not be big for old releases, with only a few visitors.

Maybe archive old videos in external sources?
