On the other hand, sometimes you also care about attributing correctly
the companies were you worked at these times or, simpler than that, your
email address reflects the chapter of your life when you were working in
certain projects (you start with your college email, then your graduate
school email, and then that cool company that first hired you and now
doesn't exist anymore, etc.) It would be lovely not to loose that
information from the logs.
