I was wondering about the term too, but the translations to German make sense
and it appears to be an existing English term :) It's a legal term meaning kind
of "expired". There has so much time passed, that the fee has "expired". In
German: verjährt.

Timothy - it's usually not good to broaden the scope, keep it to small steps. I
suggest to do the refactoring of the existing code on a separate bug, making
sure the havaviour is kept and then add the new option on top if you want to
change both subs.
