I think they would have been implemented long ago if there were any such plans.

Wasn't there a way to export RevTK info to Anki or did I make that up in my head?
Anki certainly supports periods greater than 240 days.

Now, due to lack of a box nine, these will again be set for 240 days (assuming I'm reading the learn more page correctly).

If I am not wrong, you can use the "Easy" button when reviewing to set them for 360 days instead of 240, which almost means once a year.

Sadly, I never use the easy button. Plus, I've been holding off exporting anything to Anki. In fact, with renewed interest in Trinity, I was holding off even more. However, the idea of being stuck to a minimum of 10 to 15 reviews a day a year after finishing RTK is going to start wearing on me.

Speaking of Trinity, it has more boxes than 8 I hope.

I agree with you that more boxes should be added, especially since trinity encourages people to keep on using the site past RTK. If you are only getting 10-15 reviews per day though, I'd think you could probably just go to reviewing once or twice a week without any negative consequences.

I know it's not much, however the idea of having two or three days go by without having ANY due just sounds like a great "look where I'm at now" tale where one time it was 100 reviews everyday plus a large red stack.

Fabrice had his reasons for making the final box 240 days. Fairly legitimate IIRC and one that I agreed with at the time. However, now I'm seeing that weening away from RTK at a natural rate at an infinite (or 5 year?) SRS system works much better in my Japanese growth.

I had an idea actually. It really doesn't make sense to keep on studying RTK keywords forever. You are supposed to ween off of it. That's the problem though... how do you "ween" off of it?

If you do production cards in your SRS, writing kanji from the reading, then you should be able to stop doing the RTK for those particular kanji. However, on this site, it's "all or nothing". You can't really say "I don't need to review this one anymore, but I want to keep reviewing these others". It becomes an even bigger issue if you would want to start up with RTK3 after learning readings for most of the RTK1 kanji.

I remembered that there is that one greasemonkey script though which allows you to change the order of the kanji. Though I haven't tried it, I believe that one could reorder the kanji to effectively ween themselves off of certain ones.

I think a ninth/tenth stack would be there to solve the nonimpactful problem of too many reviews per day. If you've got a ton of cards in the later stacks, then it follows that you've got a pretty good handle on RtK. It's less important that you review all your cards every single day. Are you going to be significantly less likely to remember those cards on day 241 than day 240? Probably not.

If the number of cards that come up for review is too high, just put a time limit cap on it or something. Eventually, the system will work itself out to give you only the amount of cards that you've been used to handling per day.

At that point, with those later cardboxes, you're in memory maintenance mode. The precise days you review that material are a lot less critical than the earlier card boxes that are only delineated by a few days.
