The PROTECTED status will prevent them from revoking from inactivity. Generally STC IDs can run revoked, but there are (as you mentioned) cases that can still fail. Making the IDs PROTECTED should resolve those additional cases, so long as you do not have someone manually revoking the IDs, and so long as no one needs to logon using a password.
