The syncrun table is meant to provide both instant and historical 
information. In theory, the size should not affect things due to 
the partial indexes. But this is probably at the least a gaping 
documentation hole. :) One should prune old entries over a time 
period you are comfortable with. The "ended" query you gave is 
good for that, although I would say something like:

delete from syncrun where ended is not null
  and ended < now() - '2 days'::interval

Or you could move the rows to another table first for any long-term 
forensics.

Ideas on how to do that with Bucardo itself are welcome.

Doc patches / wiki updates extremely welcome.
