Based on other posts in the thread it sounds like the API is not
actually stable enough to support this sort of thing, but of course that
could change.

It sounds like we would need to disable the unlocking functionality you
mention in order for offline longterm storage to be feasible.

To be honest, the lack of any proper archival means that I am reluctant
to start any meaningful discussions on the test instance you've set up,
but then it is rather difficult to test whether it's a good platform for
us to have meaningful discussions...

Is it perhaps possible for us to subscribe a mailing list to all posts
from the instance, so that we know that there's a copy somewhere?

If others share my concerns about posterity then it is not off-topic.
