Ability to create a single one-off snapshot at a precise time
A customer would like the ability to create a snapshot "right now", and mark it to be preserved.
The scenario is for a system being upgraded or changed or for auditing purposes. The benefits are:
- the ability to restore this PIT is longer than the default 24 hours.
- recovering the snapshot is quick because no oplogs have to be replayed.
- auditing purpose if you are in a vertical for which it is required.

I think this is a valid use case. We have the need to do the exact same thing now.
