Hi Paul,
Interesting topic! I have previously set it up so that when learners finish courses they have a few months grace period in order to still access all of their old content generally (including Mahara). The benefit to this is that they can still continue referring to their e-portfolio (use their pages for employment etc) and have a little bit of extra time to export the content they need and add it elsewhere. This meant a general account policy change but I think it was a beneficial one but it depends on the individual institution.
Backups of the site were kept for 2 years as a snapshot if anything is needed later.
