Yeah, as you allude to in your parting sentence, I'm not sure if this idea makes me more or less secure. Chance for accidental infection at the storage facility goes way down, but should the sequence ever leak to the internet chance for accidental infection from some stupid amateur biohacker goes way up in my opinion, and that's before we get to purposeful infection. If it's going to be preserved, I think I'm happier with it not being digital and stored in highly secured areas by professionals, but perhaps the threat model in my head isn't accurate enough.
