Hello All!

We advertise that legacy symbols will be removed after two years.
However, so far, we've be more lax than that, and we only dropped
symbols after about 5 year have elapsed.

This series changes the rule to match the customs, and drops the
entries older than 5 years.

Additionally, a little shell snippet is added in the comments, to
help eventually drop those legacy symbols when they are still used
elsewhere (e.g. as legacy defaults).

---
Changes v1 -> v2:
  - drop patches removing more recent entries up to 2-year old)
  - make the 5-year customs the rule

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
