Yes, that makes sense.  Our situation is we have a server hosted configuration with 11 years of history and 2200 inactive users.  We're trying to migrate to a cloud instance where the max users is 2000.  So, I'm wanting to clean up the user list and avoid getting to this many inactive users again.  Any suggestions?

In the past with JIRA Server I was able to reassign any unresolved issues that were assigned to the Obsolete Users Group to an active user https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/92277

I'll be watching for new information in other responses and or your findings with JIRA Cloud
