Thought about this. I agree 100%. The incumbent belief in software that machines should always remember (embedded in postgresql logo for example) has a dystopian sense of inmortality desires. I would like to play with the idea of a filesystem layer solution that tiers out information based on staleness. The closest I've seen to this is AWS S3 tiers, you've got standard S# at 2.2 cents per GB month, then infrequent, then glacier and some tiers in between.
