For STGNEW, STGDELETE, STGREUSE entries, there is no use for them once your
oldest DB backup has expired, but it's OK to keep them around longer.

Be careful though, clearing out the VOLHIST, if you occasionally create
BACKUPSET or EXPORT tapes - if you delete those VOLHIST entries, the volumes
will go back to scratch state and can get written over.
