The main idea behind focusing on remote media is that a server should
be able to refetch remote media in case it is needed. It would also
make sense to delete local media, but that is more
complicated. (possible scenarios: older than Y days, rooms that have
been left by all users and are "unreachable", rooms that have been
upgraded but have users left in it,....)
This includes a number of remote media that we might want to keep
(e.g. avatar images of users on remote home servers).
But the main idea behind focusing on remote media is that a server
should be able to refetch remote media in case it is needed. It would
also make sense to delete local media, but that is more
complicated. (possible scenarios: local media older than Y days, rooms
that have been left by all users and are thus "unreachable", rooms that
have been upgraded but have users left in it, media that has not been "accessed" the last Y days,....)
But finding out these things and setting all these policies will be
way more difficult and in some cases we do not have the information
we'd need (e.g. if a media is part of an avatar image, or when media
has been accessed the last time).
