I don't disagree that we need to maintain the history.
I do, however, question the policy that REQUIRES EVERYONE to maintain that
much history.
The CPU's use L1, L2, MM, HD cache hierarchies.
The public libraries have a few months issues of a periodical in each branch
library. They also have years of them in the main archives.
FreeBSD developers know a better way to manage information??? :-)
