Interesting idea.
According to my understanding of discussion happened during sprint, we want
to use phases to make strip command and stripping less bad. I like that
goal and very much want us to move in that direction.
Talking about your idea, we might need a phase for things which merit
revisiting someday. Do you mean that archived phase should be used for that
and we should use some other phase for stripping?
