Limit number of snippets to 10

Project Member Reported by zea@chromium.org, Apr 15 2016

Issue description

Chrom version Dev 51.0.2704.5
I manually turned on the about:flags experiments for both snippets and popular sites.

When I go to the NTP, I see well over 20 different snippets, which means that as I scroll down I can go pretty far down indeed.

Please let me know if there's any other info from the browser I can provide.

I experienced something similar but can repro it right now.
@zae: How old are the snippets you are seeing? Older than 24h?

Nope, they're all from within 24 hours.

I don't think we restrict the number of snippets at all. Should we?

Comment 5 by nepper@chromium.org, Apr 19 2016

The PRD (go/zine-snippets) specifies a limit of 10 snippets in total. Let's
start with that.

Feel free to re-assign.

CCing some folks who might want to take this. Unassigning myself for now, since I won't get to it this week.

We haven't really decided which snippets to keep if we get more than 10 total. (We restrict the max number to 10 per fetch, but we typically re-fetch before the snippets have expired.)
Options:
- Keep those with the best scores (provided by ChromeReader, but we don't store it yet).
- Keep those with the newest creation dates.
- Keep those we fetched last (this more or less corresponds to the proposed snippet ordering in  bug 601736 , but IMO doesn't really make a lot of sense).
- Some combination of the above.

Whatever we do, it should probably be consistent with the snippet ordering, i.e. always keep the first 10.

I'll take this one, since it'll mostly boil down to  bug 601736 .

Agreed, irrespective of the ordering use when snippets are added, we should always make sure that we remove snippets from the end of the list to limit the number of snippets to 10.
