Sounds like cost saving to me

It must cost a lot to store this data. Cutting down to 3 months sounds like a good way to save a few bucks to me.

It's not like Yahoo is exactly flush with money right now.

They've turned cost saving into PR. Clever though, full points for the effort.

4GB Limit

"Storage in the database rapidly produced databases files that exceeded the 4GB limit on a 32-bit operating system"
