1 month ago I don't think this has a realistic chance of being implemented. It would require a lot of work regarding how this could be implemented in a secure way, and it would also increase load on the network. If someone does not have enough storage for a pruned blockchain it's best that they use a remote node.
i assume that 90% of the blockchain are never used because most transactions i see (event horizon) are only some weeks old so the full monero blockchain of currently 90GB is mostly a waste of disk space
why no lazy fetching? let me use a "shallow clone" of the blockchain and only when a transaction requires deeper access to the blockchain then fetch to the required depth and maybe later delete the deep end of the chain to free disk space
