Will committee members and private price feed publishers be affected too?

Accounts will not be affected at all. The proposal is to remove expired feeds from the internal data structure of each bitasset, no matter who originally published that feed.

What is the max age of a price feed? Some MPA like XCD (http://open-explorer.io/#/assets/XCD) only need a feed published once per year.

The max age is configurable per asset. This will be taken into account when deciding what to remove, of course.

We're not talking about actual history here, just leftover feeds from people who are no longer witnesses.

A history of settlement prices would be interesting, we could add that to ES. But that's a different subject.

Would it be possible to leave behind 1 feed per day per price feed publisher? So that whilst still achieving the reduction in memory/storage requirements we can still have a partial historical price reference for later price analysis?

I think in the long run this will be an important change for keeping nodes healthy. Full ACK.
