is there any consensus on the relative value of earlier transactions?
I assume 3 years (2014-2016) is definitely valuable, but how useful is 5 years or 10 years or 20 years?
is there an algorithmic sliding scale of relative value?
is the relative value dependent on enough other aid flow data?
is there a relative value of use cases re 1 year, 5 year and 20 year datasets?
I have access to GBP 250+ million of unreported public aid flow and as yet unquantified unreported private aid flow

it does not appear to be allowed but…
…i do think it would be useful for the IATI registry to at least be able to code the total budget per donor per year from legacy information sources (in particular where some information required by v2.01 and later is not available) such as paper annual reports to support donor trend analysis, forward estimated aid flow budgets, sense check other projects on open budgets / open procurement, etc.
