That's the beauty of the system since 0.19, you can have it your way.
Generally if I record something I intend to watch it, and I delete it
after I do. To have something deleted by the system means that I
didn't get around to watching it for quite some time, but I don't
want even that to happen, so I just pay attention and make sure that
it doesn't.
But if it did happen the deletions would be in a logical order, with
what is clearly of the least interest to me going first.
It really is a very flexible system. I think the only problems would
occur if somebody other than me was using the system, because
different people have differing priorities.
Fortunately I live by myself and don't have those type of problems,
and I think the present system is far better than the one it replaced
(0.18 and previous), at least for me.
