Who's going to maintain it, even at the small size?
The data from my dissertation is on a Zip disk. I didn't mean for it to get lost to the world, but, you know...
I'm on a project now where provision of the raw data to the granting agency for public availability is a requirement. But the metadata, database structuring, and answering questions from people who take my data and have a question about it has added noticeably to my workload.
