Anyone making cards like these (as opposed to more clear-cut cases) should be aware of huge potential for scheduling loads of cards that are useless in the long run, and only seem like a good idea at the time. Since the cost of maintaining knowledge of these facts is both delayed and distributed, I expect it’s not adequately perceived.
If the cost is inadequately perceived, you’ll delete less than you should, and you’d have to pay the cost of considering the question of whether to delete in any case.
From my personal experience, reviewing cards feels costly, and I am likely to delete them if I do not see that they need be in my current ‘working set’. This is especially true if you timebox card review.

What about simply deleting items no longer useful?
