Truncation is one option. Anonymization of the IP address information is
another option. I think that's what places such as Google do. Or just removing
the IP checks from the log altogether after a certain period of time, right?
And just keeping the checks of usernames? Though... maybe truncation is best.
I'm not sure much good comes from keeping this data around indefinitely.

Any follow up on this?
