I agree, as long as it keeps little. Maybe a good rule of thumb would
be to see if the data was imported or manually inserted. It is
unlikely, that people will manually add a lot of historic stuff
quicker then the community is able to develop a consistent system to
filter timebased information. Automatic imports of old data might
instead create such a mess, that editing of the current situation
would be prevented.
