Fwiw, the real interesting issue regarding this bug report is, that
those old core files are still there.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to store old core files for a longer
period of time, so systemd ships this tmpfiles snippet to clean up
/var/lib/systemd/coredump/

# grep coredump /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/*
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:d /var/lib/systemd/coredump 0755 root
root 3d

I.e., files that are older then 3 days should be removed by systemd
automatically. Not sure why does weren't cleaned up on Dan's system

Would be interesting to run "stat" on those core files and have the
output of
SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug /bin/systemd-tmpfiles --clean
and
systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
-- 
Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the
universe are pointed away from Earth?
