I don't think anybody is really arguing that stashes aren't _mostly_
useful for short-term storage.

I think the problem is that _sometimes_ stashes end up sticking around
longer than people suspect, and this is not necessarily planned (or even
intentional).  I've done it -- I'll stash some changes "temporarily" in
a little-used working directory, then end up doing something else and
forgetting to re-apply the stash.  I'll then revisit that working dir a
long time later, wonder where my changes are, poke around a bit, and
find them in the stash; no prob.
