millions of warnings per day, state DB grows by 4GB/day

[Kapil Thangavelu]

fwiw in the past, i always found it useful to run
https://github.com/kapilt/juju-dbinspect (specifically the history
function) on pre-releases to check the txn collection for bad system
behavior wrt to extraneous writes and file bugs. txn cleanup is great, but
avoiding extraneous txns in the first place is probably better.

cheers,
kapil
