The hardest part of this for the indicator is knowing exactly when to start doing extra scans.

The indicator-network service has no idea when the indicator menu itself is actually opened. For this to work both unity8 and qmenumodel would need to be modified to support the "submenu-action" convention. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1398888)

Adding a filtered model between the raw APs and the current APs based on the last-seen property would be reasonably straight-forward.

My main objection would really be that there should really be a consistent strategy for AP aging across all clients. So, e.g. unity7 and unity8 will have the same behaviour.
