Actually we are keeping far less than we really want, but we have had
to cut down significantly because of hudson's "keep all in memory"
strategy

Rough idea:
1 main build job, keeping 2-3 days of builds with maybe 20-30 builds a day
one project with 25 active jobs per environment and 3 environments,
all with at least 10-20 builds kept
one project with 15 active jobs per environment and 3 environments all
with at least 10.20 builds kept
5 periodic testers with runs every 15 minutes, keeps 1 week of history

a lot of minor helper jobs

Originally we wanted all jobs to keep 7-14 days of history so we would
have history for a whole sprint, but we gave up on the idea.

I will try to see if I can dig up some better numbers
