Yeah, it's far too easy to miss. Besides, I think the wording you used
is ambiguous -- it can be read as "the server will temporarily keep all
segments if you set it to -1", which is not the same thing at all. If
you can't add a 20-point-font red blinking warning with a pink dancing
elephant in a tutu, maybe it's best to not offer the dangerous setting
in the first place.
