I agree. If you are concerned about valuable stashes getting deleted, my guess is one of:

  - you would like reflog expiration to be longer
  - you are using stash as a long-term storage, which it was never
    intended for. Use a branch.

The latter, of course, is based on my use and my impression of others use (I almost always apply a stash within 30 seconds of having stashed it). So maybe everyone is keeping stashes around for months, and this is a useful change.
