We need a way to specify that some content is "no longer published" by a provider to prevent indexers from having to fetch the full chain of advertisement to sync. It may be the case that by fetching the few latest updates is already enough to fully sync to the latest state.
This is linked with the idea discussed off-band of having and "snapshot scheme" (or something similar) to allow providers to "prune their chain" when it is getting to long, signalling that by getting up to
N=some indexis enough to fully sync to the latest state (as the rest is no longer provided).Related: ipni/storetheindex#53
