Well, if the bandwidth gets good enough in the future, we could really
screw with all the governments by creating a giant raid 5 array for
our archive that's implemented on top of network block devices.

That way it would be hard to prove that any package was ever really
stored in *any* particular country.  To make this truly effective,
we'd have to rewrite a new raid level that implemented "truly random"
disk striping.  That way, no functional package would ever be
statistically likely to be completely on one disk.

I'd love to see the #$%%$&! censors sort that one out.
