If I understand your idea right, that would mean making no changes to
the semantics of *scratch* at all, with the one exception of
preserving the content of *scratch* between Emacs sessions?
I like that idea very much!
And I think it should make everybody happy: those who are worried,
that they might write something important in *scratch* and exit Emacs
without saving could simply restart Emacs again without having lost
anything -- and people like me could keep using *scratch* like they
are used to, without being annoyed by questions about saving changed
content of *scratch*. The only change for folks like me would be,
that they would want to discard the content of *scratch* from time to
time, but C-x h C-w isn't that hard to type... (or it could be
arranged in .emacs for those, who want the exact current behavior
back).
