[GNC] Removing old transactions

[Adrien Monteleone]

I don't understand the desire to filter 'old' transactions.

Why is their very existence some sort of 'stain' that needs to be hidden?

Are they hurting anything? Do they somehow get in the way of something?

Do folks regularly scroll through ancient transactions and get miff'd 
that 'old' stuff is there to scroll through?

I guess I'm not seeing a use-case for getting rid of data.
