A related discussion took place on this mailing-list in May this year, witch a clear agreement that removing EOL content from the SCLo SIG repo is the correct thing to do:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2019-May/017424.html
I'd like to hear jstanek's opinion here as well, because he's handing the SCLo SIG content recently more than myself, but I'm pretty sure the SCLo SIG content mentioned below can be removed from mirrors and just kept in the vault repo.
It just looks like there were some unsuccessful efforts to remove the content before: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2018-August/016890.html
so we'll see how it goes this time.
Thanks, Honza

For all the c7 SIGs, if you have content that you want removed (to make inactive) when we create the new 7.7.1908 tree, please let me know here what needs to be removed.
If all files in a specific directory can be removed, you can just list the directory.
You will also obviously need to make any changes to your centos-release-* files to remove those file locations from your repos.
After we release 7.7.1908 .. we will copy over the SIG directories prune the SIG content. The http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/<repo>/ paths will then be shifted to the new 7.7.1908 tree.
I expect that some time early next week we will release the CR content .. with the full release coming 7 to 14 days after that .. so full release likely some time between 29 August to 6 September 2019.
If you don't tell us to remove content, we will move everything over as is.
I have just done my point-release-expiration-check on all the packages in SCL. I xref'ed this list https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl with what's actually listed by `yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=*scl* list available`
These are the top level packages from that page that are marked as expired with their expiration dates from that page. This list covers more than just the packages I've listed there - for example maven30.x86_64 has 513 maven30* sub-packages and those will all need to be removed.
