[Ci-users] Missing recent builds

When /var/lib/jenkins gets full (or about to), I leave just the last
20 builds and prune rest to clear up some space
Since we advise to copy important things (like builds to artifacts), I
didn't know they were important (leaving 20 to go back and address
some issues)
In case you don't want me messing with them, please let me know.
Apologies for those.
