This is not final, but filing to track once we have buy-in on the product side.

Current plan is not to do hibernation. If a user doesn't use the account for, say, 3 months, we simply drop the data and they do a new sync on first connect.

That's the new version of hibernation... see the URL field. :)

Bumping this since we should think about how it applies in the world of fxa-enabled-sync.

Comment 4

[Toby Elliott [:telliott]]

I don't think this changes much; it possibly gets less likely if we're of the this-is-more-permanent mindset. Where we should revisit it is in the world where we have a separate backup service.

(note that it's going to happen automatically to old sync users as they get migrated down to a smaller and smaller server pool!)

This has consistently been not accepted at a product level. Closing. We can file a new issue elsewhere for Product to consider changing this in the future.
