The 1000 entries/14 days cutoff is because of it being a massive pain in the
tuchus on the database, IIRC? Which slows everything down for everyone.

For what it's worth, paid users on LiveJournal now have access to a feature
where they can navigate back to their friends page on a specific date; given
that this is accessible only to paid users, and not plus, I'd guess this
feature is probably also not particularly database-friendly either. (
http://community.livejournal.com/paidmembers/22352.html ) So
keeping/implementing this feature on DW would be useful, but I'd be willing
to bet it's going to be a premium feature here if it comes about/is ported
over.
