[governance] Trivial to implement "to be forgotten"

[George Sadowsky]

Norbert,

Thank you very much for highlighting a very important aspect of this discussion.

The necessity not to forget applies to some of the most cataclysmic events of the last century.  As George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Thanks!

George
