It would be nice to have card retirement built in to Anki rather than having to rely on add-ons. In a deck’s options there could be a _card retirement interval_ in the _reviews_ tab, right under _maximum interval_. Any card that reached the specified interval would be suspended and tagged _retired_. Obviously the default value would be something so large that beginners wouldn’t even notice that the feature existed (just like _maximum interval_ has a default value of 100 years), but those of us who want to retire cards automatically in certain decks could use this. I would find this very helpful. Thanks for your time.
