Yes. It is not like this is a big deal. Normal sites updating every once in a while won’t see much difference.
People can setup their own lifecycle rules if they care about this stuff.
Isn’t setting up clean up uploads = false already that?
Lol no. Discourse officially supports S3. While I went out of my way starting the whole Configure an S3 compatible object storage provider for uploads wiki and adding a few toggles to increase clone compatibility we have zero plans on investing more time into that today.
If the community wants to send a couple PRs that increase compatibility and are default off that is pr-welcome, but don’t expect to see official support in core for every clone any time soon.
