Say, isn't RSS sort of supposed to be a blow-by operation?
I mean nnrss saves articles for ever and ever, like they were email.
But shouldn't there be a variable available to say, tell nnrss that it
can expire the oldest of any more than a maximum of 300 articles?
(However the default should still be infinity.)

I suppose manually using E (gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable) will work in
the meantime.

I have set these parameters on my rss topic:

   ((auto-expire . t)
    (expiry-wait . 104))

I am not sure why you would need something rss-specific to achieve
expiry of rss articles?
