Because the practice of automatic purging already exist without any
flags, and clearly without user permission. That is reality.
This proposal attempts to introduce a new header that would require a
change and alteration ($$$) of this existing design and practice.
IMO, this is asking much more than what is realistically more possible,
which is to simply state:
Servers which employ automatic purging of old messages
MAY let this field influence the purging process.
...and that's just insane. it gives filters license to degrade email
reliability even more than they are already doing.
