Storage is in the zeitgeist. Here are a few thoughts as one author of the FIP. We considered a bunch of galaxy brained mechanisms: dynamic pricing, decaying allocations, various Dutch auctions. Ultimately they all seemed too complex and their impact on incentives too uncertain. Keep it simple, solve for now, learn.

To this end, there's a deprecation date built into the contract a year from now, kind of like the old ETH difficulty bomb. There's an escape hatch for the protocol if we really need to push it back, but we don't want to. We'll take what we learn from year one of storage and iterate.

Pruning: Like many, I had a strong reaction to pruning. It's weird and different compared to the models we're used to, which hoard data forever. But I now think it's Good Weird: something fundamentally different and interesting about FC, with consequences at the cultural layer. I don't think this is just protocol cope.

I have been posting for many years now, and although I sometimes look back fondly on those posts, I am not the same person today. Everything flows. IMO toggling this autosave default is good, especially since it's possible to build ways for users to curate and archive if they want.

If the prune is a known-in-advance-event, we might even grow to love it, maybe celebrate it. Like a halvening or some other crypto pseudo holiday. This could actually be fun and not just some abstruse technical detail.
