It's not for one user of the repository (and remember that with a
DVCS, any repository can, in future, gain extra users) to declare what
existing history “does not matter”. If the data exists, and you have
nothing to hide, it's best that it be available for later analysis if
desired.

If you want a way to make the history cleaner, that speaks to a
requirement for a way for the user to view history ignoring some types
of revision. This is very different from removing them from history
completely.
