Thanks for your feedback, we're seriously considering all the input from the community, wherever it is coming from.

Talking about artifacts retention policy, we actually support defining an expiration date and we're also considering to add a maximum number in the future. You can find discussions about this topic in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23777 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/19208: in these issues there are also problems and consideration about having this feature implemented.

Feel free to jump in and push your ideas!
