Auto clearing of old snapshots about neventstore HOT 2 CLOSED

The philosophy behind the EventStore is that more is better. I'm never a fan of removing/deleting data--even snapshots. You are correct that snapshots can be cleared without really affecting things and it does save a few bytes of space. For me, it makes things easier for debugging and other purposes to keep snapshots around.

Another reason to keep snapshots beyond the latest version is for when a command comes in at a old version (at least older than the snapshot) and then having to load up your aggregate from the stream, but at a really old version. Having the snapshot prevents the need from going back all the way to the beginning of a stream.
