That’s an interesting meta-idea. Have any more thoughts on its implementation that you’d care to share? I started going off on a mental tangent about how an algorithm would extend a WiFi hotspot’s expiration on your frequency / number of connections to it.

In its most rudimentary form think of it as another "last used time" column in the database. A periodic job can delete all entries which are older than a certain last used time.
