Deleting Stale computer invitations

I've noticed that when I pull up 

https://my.jss.com:8443/api/#!/computerinvitations/findComputerInvitations_get

I get a giant list of invitation codes. Some of them never expire. 

    <invitation_type>DEFAULT</invitation_type>
    <expiration_date>Unlimited</expiration_date>
    <expiration_date_utc>Unlimited</expiration_date_utc>
    <expiration_date_epoch>Unlimited</expiration_date_epoch>

I figured out that I can use the API to delete them.

curl -sfku <user>:<pass> "https://my.jss.com:8443/JSSResource/computerinvitations/id/<id to delete> -X DELETE"

I understand that most of these codes expire after a single use but some are from quickadd packages created years ago. The binary in the package may be outdated but the code will still work. In my mind I think it would be good to delete all old quickadd inivations when you create a new quickadd package.

I guess I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this and if there is any other way to handle these stale invitations.

This issue very recently came up in my org after it was discovered some folks were still using a very old QuickAdd package. I'm wondering if there are any best practices around identifying/deleting old QuickAdd package invitations created via Recon vs QuickAdd invitations created by /enroll. I have over 5000 "unlimited" invitations. I know I didn't create that many QuickAdds...
