https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/multisig-ops/pull/2448
Motivation
Per BIP-750 2025 Gauge Management the Balancer Maxis are responsible for killing gauges on a quarterly basis due to them becoming stale I.e. not voted for. The definition of stale as defined in the framework is a pool under 100k for >60 days and a pool without veBAL votes for >60 days. Removing these gauges from the system decreases overhead for gauge checkpointing, gas costs for the operation, and improves UX on the frontend and snapshot for gauge votes via Aura due to shorter lists and less clutter.
