I always advocate "use proper tools for proper things" approach.
That's why I do not feel well looking at the proposal of making a
distributed storage system of PEP/PubSub.

Let's store things in a storage system and use eventing system to
propagate events.

I do not liked the persistent nodes idea from the very beginning. PubSub
was distributing events in <message/>s storable in offline storage for
later retrieval. There was no need for persistence in PubSub.

And the possibilities of abuse... infinite.
There are applications that allows storage of arbitrary amount of data
in DNS caches that are very volatile. With persistent PEP nodes it's
even much simpler.
