I don't think we should be destroying data by default. There should be no
expiry by default.
"Destroying data" seems a bit dramatic. We clean up temp files and so on all
the time. And the logs, of course, get trimmed if disk space is tight, so
there's already that. Keeping data forever just because isn't necessarily
inherently better. At $formeremployer, we had a policy of not keeping
anything longer than a year unless mandated to for regulatory reasons.
