Checkuser wiki helps once you've identified a long term vandal.  But without
logs, you lose any info on what that vandal has done in the past, until it's
manually moved to the Checkuser wiki.  So losing the logs would lose some of
the historical data that's rich for predicting how they operate.

With that said, I think MZ's initial comment here is not off base.  Personally,
I'd be fine with truncating the data somehow, but I'm not the primary user of
that tool: checkusers and stewards are.  Particularly for smaller wikis, we
should retain the logs for some time, but I don't think ther'es a need to
retain them indefinitely.  

I"m going to chat with LCA's lawyers and see where they fall on the question.
