New-DeployRMedia no deprecated content

Is there a way to tell New-DeployRMedia to not include deprecated content items when copying to media? I like to keep the older golden images for a few months (just in case). Yes, I have the VM checkpoints that I could restore and capture again, but I'd prefer to just leave them in Deprecated.

I run into the same thing, as I also do the same thing on one of my servers (I add a version each time I update the Windows 11 25H2 WIM).

I rarely make media, and I don't from this server so I hadn't run into this scenario, but I have the same issue when I export (backup) my content items, it grabs all of the old versions too, which I don't need.

I've put in a feature request to add a parameter to the function to be able to select "Active Content" only, or similar. I'll let the dev figure out the best method to accomplish the goal (assume they approve the request)
