Comment:

 We need to simplify the behaviour here to match expectations, having two
 separate flags (preserve and autoexpire) is just too confusing. I
 appreciate the attempt to satisfy everyone, but I really do agree with
 Stuart that maybe it's better if disabling auto-expire acts the same way
 as preserve and preserve was eliminated.

 If we do that then it would probably help to rename it from 'Disable Auto-
 expire' to 'Block Deletion' or similar and make it a catch-all state that
 doesn't allow any code to delete that recording without the 'block' being
 removed. That's simple enough for everyone to understand.
