So if there is no extra-special need, I won't do

raw logs.
Just to clarify, we're not purging in this case just to do housekeeping on
our schemas. We're purging the data in this case because that is what we
agreed to with Legal. These schemas depended on setting a unique token for
anonymous editors and then tracking them further (including whether they
registered an account). Like CheckUser logs, this is something we needed to
answer a question, but which we would rather not keep beyond 90 days, and
which we do not normally collect on the site.
Our team has never asked for a purge before, and I would never do it as a
matter of routine or if I didn't think it was a priority. I understand that
time is the most precious thing we all have, perhaps especially so at work.
;-) I also let Kevin know months ago we would need some help doing this
from Analytics.
