I think we totally should do this, but with a really long expiration period (3 months suggested by Brian seem nice).
The concerns raised by a few people here are valid, but I think they could be offset with some simple improvements:
- Never re-abandon a patchset that has been previously restored (note that I mean patchset, not changeset).
- Send a notice (a comment) on the patch that it will be abandoned, explaining why we do this and how to prevent it.
How about this?
What are the benefits?
If someone is overwhelmed by changes in -1 in his dash- board(s), it sounds odd that they would want to exclude only changes older than three months when they could exclude all of them.
