Michael,

RE: 
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/USDU+delete+subjects+after+unresolvable+for+X+days


While I understand the idea of this request, there might be some unintended 
consequences if other things are not considered.

1) some subject sources might need to be treated differently than others.
        Maybe different timelines (remove after N days), 
        Maybe different logic based on that source. ( some sources may never 
need cleaned., or only yearly? )
        Some might expect to see lots of subject changes, others might expect 
very view. ( so a single "failsafe" might be high for some and low for 
others.)


2) if an USDU subject is still "provisioned" to some downstream system then 
there may be other problems caused by removing the Subject from the 
downstream system after the USDU scrubs the subject from grouper.
        Maybe there needs to be a step that identifies the unresolvable 
subject that triggers downstream provision/de-provision processes before the 
subject is removed.


What are your thoughts along those lines?
