Attached you can find the news item for up coming profile cleanup.
do profiles really need to be culled this often ? we used to let the tail run
longer and no one complained. it's easier to upgrade an old system when the
current profile is sane than having to create one from scratch because the new
profile uses features not actively available.
i.e. let's set a limit of like 3 years on profiles

I think I have mostly upgraded my machines, but I completely agree - I
sometimes let some old virtual machines sit unbooted for a year and then
suddenly want to use them and bring them up to date and occasionally
this can be a right old pain in the derrier...
Surely 4 months is too short a warning for profiles which can easily be
simply left to rot instead?
