Quite agree Brand, but I'm not sure Tim meant pure 'blobs' (i.e.
opaque binary objects). I took hime to mean he wanted to dump his copy
of the data (probably in structured form) somewhere else -- be that an
upload of a spreadsheet to google docs, or storing a structured dump
(json/csv/rdf) somewhere (e.g. archive.org/storage.ckan.net/s3 ...)

@Tim: is this understanding correct?
