Auto-delete dated DONE notifications?

Auto-delete dated DONE notifications?

I recently had to dive into the guts of a habit which I've been using
since June 2015, I know that because there were all the 1-line DONE
dated notifications! Is there anyway in which they can be auto-deleted
after a cut-off number, say '60' please?

Thanks
Sharon.

AFAICT, this is not possible yet.

I think this would be a nice addition to Org. We could add an option
that can limit the number of state change notes in an entry.

WDYT? Do you want to give a try at it?

Unfortunately my lisp skills are not sufficient to do it. Although I'd
love to learn how to do it.

Thanks

Yes, it has been the wish of several users including me earlier on
this list.

My only "contribution" to this subject is to suggest to reuse the
existing option org-log-into-drawer and ":LOG_INTO_DRAWER:"
respectively and to extend its possible values.
