Ah, in that case, definitely look at the incremental framework that
I built.  I have various training regimes that do train-on-everything
vs. mistake-only, as well as one which expires stuff based on time.
Making more regimes to do various other things should be very easy.

Definite overkill.  Most of this won't be needed for any given
regime, and will instead just bloat the transient data requirements
during testing.  Just make each regime keep track of the data it
needs to do whatever it wants to do.
