Not only. We also use org-persist to cache downloaded images from
internet and, in future, to cache image previews (currently, they just
sit in `org-preview-latex-image-directory'). These scenarios make use of
org-persist during a single Emacs session, not just across several
sessions.

Even if we allow completely disabling persistence for certain files,
previews, and internet downloads should happen _somewhere_ in file system
and might inevitably cause leakage. But what is the way around?

CCing Timothy as he might have further thoughts.
