If RAM and storage become one and the same the way you store your data in memory is how you store your data permanently. The state of your application becomes your data storage. Or at least in theory it could.

Yeah but the point is you can do that today. The OS does it with hibernation.

> The state of your application becomes your data storage. That's honestly a worst-case scenario. Imagine an application that is permanently in RAM -- and no matter how often you kill it, it will never "reload" from a clean state.

  There will likely be other ways of resetting the state of memory.

    Why you are asked to "clear cache" so often on Android.
