What would you like to be added?

i'm opening this issue here but this applies to all first party github actioins as far as i can tell. please stop deleting old versions of actions. it completely defeats the purpose of version pinning and is extremely frustrating to have my CI randomly start failing when i haven't changed anything.

every time i need to push a small update to an old project i haven't touched in a year, i encounter errors like this because the versions of the actions i'm using have been deleted:

this is extremely frustrating because the small change i needed to make that should've only taken me a minute has now taken up an hour of my time as i needed to bump all my actions and fix the new issues that updating them has inevitably caused.

Why is this needed?

imagine if old versions of npm packages were deleted from the npm registry
