Picture Tor. Now picture your browsing history is stored forever so if there's ever a bug in the protocol, it all goes clear...

I mean, systems like Tempora[1] and the NSA's Utah data center[2] are known. Tempora apparently stores data for 3 days and metadata for 30 days. I'd concede they may store metadata, but I seriously doubt they're storing the full traffic. That doesn't seem doable from a logistical standpoint.
