In either case, I would be dubious about the possibility of clearing automatically and you might want to consider monitoring with EF. Of course, since A almost never opens, maybe it isn't worth the money for EF in this case.

Many thanks to the OP for making this a standalone thread.
That's my understanding as well, though the second part (bolding mine) is what I'm most curious about. Regardless, I'm monitoring with EF and have an alert set. Still, if the first scenario you describe occurs, I wouldn't get the notification since they would move me into the A space, eliminating it (ostensibly).
