 Relevant: GDPR Article 5, Paragaph 1(e) https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/

 Noteworthy: The wp_users table includes the registration datetime for the
 user but not the last time they logged in / had their credentials used to
 authenticate a request.

 There are probably a few factors to be considered before auto-deleting an
 idle account, e.g. whether or not if the user has provided content (e.g.
 posts, attachments, comments).

 If we do this, the solution should probably allow a plugin to block auto-
 deleting (e.g. if the user account needs to be retained for legal or
 contractual purposes.)
