Either approach requires finding *everything* that deletes recordings
and making it respect the flag, as far as I can see.

I don't much care what the polarity of the flag is, but IMO, it needs
to *mean* "nothing at all can delete this", and if a user wants to
delete something, they should have to manually unflag it.

And all new code that might delete recordings should have to respect it.
