Sometimes you want to rollback an update of a package to a previous version and you ending up having a hard time searching for a previous version.
So id suggest to keep 2-3 latest package versions instead of removing old version right away.
This task depends upon

You have a package cache for a reason. Also, previous versions may be broken and we do not want to continue to distribute these so this would have to be a semi-manual process.
