Summary and Info:

The 'pacman -Sc' command is really handy but it would be nice to have a few more options for skipping the deletion of packages such as:

- deleting all but the X newest versions of a package (with an option to include packages which are not currently installed)
- skipping the deletion of packages that are less than Y days old

I think it would be really handy for keeping a few recent packages around incase you need to rollback while still giving you a way to get rid of some older less relevant packages quickly.

maybe something like:
pacman -Sc [--include-not-installed] [--min-age=365] [number of recent versions of a package to keep]
This task depends upon
