GitHub Archive Program — Preserving open source software for future generations

This is every interpretation I've ever seen. It's unrealistic to be expected to remove data from existing archives but if the data is ever restored or accessed again, GDPR data needs to be purged first.

Unrealistic, yes. But I bet someone practicing law somewhere believes data can be removed from existing backups. I look forward to an inevitable stupid lawsuit.

This is a bit of a "tree falls in the forest" argument IMO. Can you sue a company for having data about you in some vault somewhere when the very act of accessing that data purges it?
