Can you find an example of a 2 year old comment which is still relevant?
Maybe all comments older than 2 years should be removed? 2 years old comments are irrelevant regardless of user being currently active or not.
What of comments older than two or more years which comment on packages that haven't been updated upstream for two or more years, and thus haven't been (probably) updated in the AUR for the same amount of time, but are still usable? Delete all packages older than two years? It's a destructive decision...
Sure, they might be usable, but I bet a large number of those old packages very poorly conform to PKGBUILD best practices (e.g. no use of ${startdir}, no package() function, no pkgver() function for VCS packages, etc.). Eventually, pacman will likely be dropping support for PKGBUILD's without a package() function, so at some point in the future, the TUs will probably have to do a mass deletion of old packages anyway.
