I think being able to filter an import, restricting to only recent and
future items would be very useful, especially during dogfooding. It
would be nice to be able to specify the date instead of having it
hard-coded at 1-month. I wish I could similarly limit email import as
well (only import emails after some specified date).

Is it worth providing an import option to calendar users where they
can choose to only import their calendar starting from 1 month ago?

The theory is that it usually takes a while for users to build up to
hundreds of events and tasks in their task lists and calendars.
However, when people import existing calendars, they bring with them
a potentially huge number of past events that they arguably don't
need easy access to anymore? (This problem compounds when people
start subscribing to share each other's calendars.)

Could we potentially lower the bar for # of items we need to
accommodate in Preview by offering this option?

Also, does this give us a performance boost if the calendar is mostly
recurring events?
