this is a good point. are there any fs that have mechanisms to help apply data retention policy? if one does offline backup, deleting only the stuff that needs to be forgotten can be quite painful. suppose (as a weak example) the labs' main worm were subject to the normal business data retention rules. there would be a lot of history lost. it's in the forgetting that memory is made useful. - erik
