Unfair.

That doesn't help someone who wants a full relay trace because they don't
know where the problem is, but doesn't want to start until close to the
problem.  I have myself wished we had the capability.  Admittedly my traces
were smaller than 3GB but I would be very happy to get rid of the top 100MB
of the trace.
