Currently, [Soccorro retains traces for PT6M](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1804015#c0:~:text=Given%20that%20we%20only%20keep%20crashes%20around%20for%206%20months%20could%20we%20hide%20fixed%20bugs%20that%20have%20been%20fixed%20by%20more%20than%206%20months%20in%20that%20table%3F). I imagine that it *must* continue to do so, by default, for the sake of storage. However, would the option to retain *specific* traces be feasible, if the user checks a box?

I ask because, for crashes like what [`bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2386127`](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2386127#c0:~:text=I%20posted%20https://sourceforge%2Enet/p/opencamera/discussion/general/thread/a0f4c96a60/%3Flimit=25%233ccd/66b0:~:text=Thanks%2520for%2520the%2520effort%252C%2520@Anonymous%252C%2520but%2520that%27s%2520a%2520little%2520unactionably%2520nondescript%2C-,I%20encountered%20https://crash%2Dstats%2Emozilla%2Eorg/report/index/d1d96a33%2De4a3%2D433d%2Db866%2D24f750250802%23:~:text=Crash%2520Report%2520%255B@%2520__syscall_cancel_arch%2520%255D%2E,-Whilst%20the%20crash) describes, the existence of a trace is the difference between it being diagnosable or not.

Apologies if not, but I thought that this was better than filing a new issue about it!
