Whenever an important package is affected by a transaction a snapshot goes into the corresponding chain. In all other cases - when an important package is not affected - snapshots go into the trivial chain.
The _trivial_ snapshot chain by default keeps 25 snapshots, the _important_ chain keeps 5. The thought process here is that you will likely not futz around with a kernel every day whereas you may very well install arbitrary packages multiple times a day. Snapshots should keep you safe for a couple of days hence the defaults of 5 and 25 snapshots, respectively.
