 * Is there a way to easily move between a “current” and “past” data fields?
 * use case:
 * Our company currently offers Product1, Product2, and Product3
 * Then display “Current Products”
 * After a few years, we only offer Product2, and Product3
 * Is there a way to move Product1 to a “past products” association? Or is the solution
   that I just have remove it from one and add it to the other (I’m trying to look
   at it from the aspect that I may not always have control to do this from the 
   UI, and may need to do it programmatically via other controls)
 * OR, can this be done via dates? if ( product_lifespan < current_time ) { move
   to past products }

 * Well, I guess having another connection type for past products would be the cleanest.

 * I think that code should be able to do what I want, I’ll toy around with it and
   report back with any questions.
 * Thanks Scribu 🙂
