I think another way of addressing the same problem would be to redefine
"reachable" in this context as "reachable from any current ref".
I tend to agree, but I haven't thought through the case for entries that
point at commits on detached HEAD. My gut feeling is that unless they are
connected to a real ref by now after all these expireunreachable days,
they are "failed experiments" and deserve to get pruned, so "from any ref"
