Probably shouldn't. The Mnemosyne dataset goes back over a decade at this point, and multi-year followups have been done, so I figure any serious misfit would be noticed by now. And if you aren't naturally exposed to any recall over decades, how important really could it be?
You have vastly more confidence than I in what questions are carefully studied & answered. As to the natural exposure question, part of the point (for me) is to use the ideas as creative stimulus, so having access to infrequently used ideas is a +.

Well, I did review the vast spaced repetition literature, and there was a wide range of followup periods, so I have a fair amount of confidence in it. I've also used Mnemosyne for almost a decade now and haven't noticed any overly-long review periods.

IMO, if you want creative stimulus, the spaced repetition curve is all wrong. You want to be reminded only *after* forgetting.
