Quite. I'm also interested in long-term archival, and I'm afraid I just
don't trust any corporate entity to be around in twenty-some years,
while I *know* I can keep my data readable for that long because I've
done it. (It's entirely possible that *I* won't be around in twenty-some
years, but in that case I won't care.)
