It's still a bad idea.
1). The "30 days" is likely change to be much longer, or indefinite, if you
check the box. It's one of the pieces of privacy policy feedback that keeps
coming in, and with a revision to the policy going to be published for
community input soon, there's not much point in specifying something that may
not need to be specified soon.
2). Knowing how long doesn't actually help you make a decision. Either you do
or do not want to be remembered. If you do, the amount of time doesn't matter.
If you don't (such as for being on a shared system), it doesn't matter if it's
30 days or 2.
This is another case where details don't help you make a choice, but we're
being pushed to carry over legacy content despite the fact that most people
agreed that the legacy message ("remember me for 180 days") was bizarre and
unnecessary.
