..for GPL compliance, keep the sources for another 3 years.
You are "distributing" the binaries "under the GPL" until you
remove the binary packages. Set an e.g. 5 minute deadline
for binary removal "if anyone wants them", then set (and post)
a source removal date 3 years after that 5 minute deadline.
