Description

Add a CLI command that allows users to specify an age at which to prune metadata that hasn't been modified for an extended period of time. Since the primary use-case targeted at the moment is list consistency, it would make sense (especially when authoritative=false) to prune metadata that is expected to have become consistent a long time ago.
