I can trim it to two weeks with a minimum entry threshold for slow
moving feeds like the dublin catalog?  We could implement the 'paged'
feeds that Trygve suggested but I'm not sure it would work nicely for
a bursty source such as this.

I'm more inclined to set a minimum number of entries to keep (so the
feed never empties) and then trim stale entries that are older than X
days.  Trimming currently happens after new entries are added but that
could happen first so that new entries are never weighted in the
minimum entry calculation?

Thoughts?

Thanks
