Sounds a little bit over-engineered to me.

So, "stash" is intended for short-term storage, but by adding a "keep"  
option you're officially blessing it for long-term storage as well. And 
the interface that you propose, explicitly marking stuff as "for keeps" 
and being able to move stuff from "temp" to "keep" sounds quite  
complicated.

I agree. I like the expiration of stashes, but if it is a choice between
"just don't expire them" and "here is a complex set of rules and
obligations for preventing them from expiring" I think we are better off
just leaving them.
