I mean, there is an argument for it, but the counterpoint is that you have to have an archivist and an index. Storing data for the Long Haul, such that it is findable, is not a simple matter in many cases. What I found deeply fascinating, as a technie working with/for librarians, is that these are people who have a solid and agreed-upon understanding of where to place physical objects which contain information, but when it came to storing data? They might as well be anyone off the street. Everyone had their idiosyncratic methodology, which wasn't even consistent over time.
