While the current forget command allows us to specify several options for which snapshots to retain (e.g., 2 monthly, 1 weekly, 2 daily...), it lacks flexibility. For example, it's not possible to specify that we want 2 monthly snapshots - one from the beginning of the month, and another halfway through the month - while having 3 daily snapshots that get overwritten each day, without overwriting the "stable" monthly ones.
We should reconsider the forget retention policy to better reflect our needs.
