I agree with this as well. It might be tricky to know when a package has failed to build for 6 months. Do we keep build farm evaluations for that long? Can we automate failure notifications after a certain date? But, it's not so important whether or not it has been exactly 6 months. At a certain point we know it's been too long and that the package is not useful anymore.
