(Whiteboard: [kanban:engops:https://mozilla.kanbanize.com/ctrl_board/6/2739] )

purge_builds is taking a significant amount of time (sometimes enough for buildbot to time it out) removing old build directories even though there is well over 100GB of free space on my build machine. There is no need for it to be doing this on a release repack build.
Most probably it was removing dep builds older than a week, which is to avoid issues with old objdirs being compiled with much newer source code. We could exempt release jobs from that part of purge_builds.py, so that we get the best turn around possible. The code is at http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/default/buildfarm/maintenance/purge_builds.py and called from buildbotcustom. Note that this is probably worse for the current Thunderbird release setup because the slaves are sitting idle between release jobs.
