What did you do before the upgrade? surely this is not a new problem for
you?

did you look at upstream's policy? i would defer to that.

for now, i did revert to 30 days, after you said, on IRC, "I'm ok with
whatever improvement, really." Perhaps I misinterpreted that?

The other thing I would point out is that this is a configuration file:
it's easily overrideable locally and will survive upgrades. Another
alternative would me to make that (more) configurable in a systemd
timer.

But we should probably just find a proper solution for this, which,
again, I would look at upstream for.
