This isn't about the iPhone podcast-in-playlist syncing issues (although it may be related to underlying issues?). I'm almost 100% certain that it used to be the case that if I put a podcast episode in a playlist it acted the same as explicitly marking that podcast "do not auto-delete". As long as it was in a playlist, even if that podcast's settings about what episodes to keep would have chosen to remove it, it still stuck around.
This was a very convenient way for me to tag podcasts I wanted to listen to later -- I didn't have to right click and mark "Do Not Auto-Delete" and they'd all be in one playlist (that incidentally could also be synced to the iPhone) and I wouldn't have to manually mark them or look for them in the entire list of all podcasts' episodes. Now with iTunes 9 it seems that iTunes doesn't care if old podcasts are in a playlist -- it will delete them anyway.
Is there any way to revert to the previous behavior? I don't want to mark podcasts' settings Never Delete (especially things like Talk of the Nation which have multiple episodes per day -- I like that it will automatically clean up anything I haven't playlisted) and nor do I want to explicitly mark everything I want to keep "Do not auto-delete".
