 That's what this ticket is about.
 If a tag is deleted, rather than just being zero'd out, then the zip
 remains untouched.

 I remain in the camp that we shouldn't expend effort on removing the zips
 in those cases. Especially not when the ZIPs are not linked to from
 anywhere.

 > Thinking of reasons why we close plugins, sometimes SVN gets wiped out
 (security, copyright, etc) and the zips should be nuked too.

 The data is still available in SVN though, just not visible via the HTTP
 browser.
 In most cases, having a ZIP still be available is not a huge concern in my
 mind. Except as mentioned above, cases of Copyright and/or IP issues.
