Bi-Temporal support for DB2 AUTH tables

I am asking for bi-temporal AUTH tables, and while I think the plan is to add System Temporal with Cypress on many catalog tables, I'm asking also for Business Temporal.

There are a couple reasons for this request, first from a Business Temporal perspective, I want to be able to give access for periods of time. Currently people get access and there's no way to remove that access without a REVOKE. Basically I would like to have a START_DATE and END_DATE on AUTH tables, and either have DB2 respect the END_DATE or have an automated cleanup process similar to what is happening with XML and Index deletes that would run in background and do the REVOKEs when the date is reached, which would then write that ended row to a history table.

From a System Temporal perspective, I need to tell exactly who had access to what DB2 resources at any point in time. Right now we can't tell our auditors anything other than who currently has access with certainly. We can look back through forms to tell who requested access, but can't tell when that was granted and when it was revoked, or if someone found a backdoor to get access granted via a SECADM ID (using Guardium also to help detect those situations).
