Comment:

 First of all, I do like the idea of being able to strip only certain
 shortcodes. Having said that, I'm not sold on the approach here. If you're
 trying to protect a certain shortcode, it might be nice to do it
 everywhere. I could pretty easily imagine a plugin that has something like
 a footnote shortcode and would want to be able to leave it in excerpts
 (where core calls `strip_shortcodes()`).

 What are the downsides of just making the `$tagnames` array filterable
 (before it's intersected with the matches). A filter name like
 `strip_shortcode_tagnames` seems reasonable.
