-------------------------+---------------------
 In an effort to move towards standardizing bad.conf so it can be machine
 parseable (#17229 and #12261), because there is no process for cleaning
 out this file, and because there are entries in this file from 2007... we
 need to clean out the old entries in this file.

 It was discussed in Berlin among some DA's about different approaches, at
 least three who used the repository indicated that they were fine with
 removing every entry in that file that was more than 6 months old.

 We haven't done this yet. It is relatively easy to do, but before I just
 go in and delete most of that file and commit it, I wanted to give people
 the chance to comment on the proposed plan here.
