It seems trivial, but I can't find the information anywhere in the documentation as to what exactly the 'Archive' option really does for events. As far as I can tell, it just flags them as 'Archived' and nothing else changes. Is that all it's supposed to do?

Yeah I read that document. So in that case all the archive setting is for is to use as a flag? I presume that would come in handy just to keep filters like the default PurgeWhenFull from running on events of interest.

I was thinking it was more of a method to remove older events from the database without deleting them, or something, in order to speed up db queries. I guess the terminology just had me confused.
