There was a lot of discussion when the Retire Prior To feature was added. At the time, I felt it pretty clear that it could not be optional from our server's perspective. I agree the sentence with the SHOULD, if read in isolation, could be interpreted as making the feature as optional. But the sentence immediately following it makes it pretty clear that it's not option.

I understand the desire to make things optional for simplicity's sake, but a primary point of this feature, when it was added, was that is was required. Making it optional now would, IMO, defeat the purpose of the feature.
