Somehow I doubt that this will do anything.

The first entry in cn=changelog is more than two months old. (May 26th is about
the time I installed this server as a FreeIPA replica.)

dn: changenumber=1,cn=changelog
objectClass: top
objectClass: changelogentry
objectClass: extensibleObject
targetuniqueid: 1e89ebcb-e20111e8-8820f96e-fc0c60a4
changeNumber: 1
targetDn: idnsname=_ldap._tcp,idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com
changeTime: 20210526122901Z
changeType: modify
changes:: YWRkOiBzUlZSZWNvc...gplbnRyeXVzbjogMTEyCi0KAA==

Is there a way to see trimming in action? I'm afraid it is not doing anything.
