If I told you there were some of us who would prefer to attenuate the
rate that things get written rather than cancel or delay archiving for
a long period of time, would that explain the framing of the problem?

Or, is it that you understand that's what I want, but find the notion
of such a operation hard to relate to?

Or, am I misunderstanding your confusion?

Or, none of the above?
