+1 ... this would go a long way towards reducing the manual effort
needed to maintain these things.

Dunno that we need automated mail about it though.

(I don't care for the other idea of not having dated CFs at all.
That would mean that an entry never disappears unless manual action
is taken to remove it.  Making untouched threads silently age out
seems like the better path forward.)
