I believe these features would layer on top of the current plan reasonably
well. I want to describe the user experience on this concept.

Purging content would probably be a process where the associated
ContentUnit is updated to not be associated with the saved Artifact; this
would cause the Artifact to become an Orphaned Artifact. After that, the
user would need to run orphan cleanup to actually delete that Artifact from
the db and the storage system. This 2-step thing is due to a correctness
requirement that Orphaned Artifact deletion has to be run without any other
Pulp jobs executing. The orphan cleanup already does this correctly so this
purging would probably occur like this for now.

Would ^ type of execution work for this type of purging use case?
