I suppose "Big Buckets" could be seen as s a first step in this direction,
but the "spam" exclusion caught my eye. It seems as cheap as storage gets,
you'll still want some sort of filter and as I look to my own work
experience, more and more I'm looking at non-record information, all the
stuff generated in collaborative space that serves an important but
transient purpose - to find ways to filter out the "records" or otherwise
"high-value" information. Perhaps more records will be placed in the "Perm"
or longer retention bucket, but working for a Company that's been in
business for 100 years, I think there will be a need to periodically purge
the stuff that's no longer needed, adds to overhead, and just gets in the
way.
