That's not how bitrot tends to work. The more likely scenario is that the particular *pickle* doesn't get used for more than a decade and then suddenly the data turns out to be relevant again (perhaps an attachment to a paper on ArXiv about the complete classification of X, and now suddenly someone needs that classification). Of course, it's questionable if even with the pickle jar in place, sage pickle is an archival-grade file format, but we can try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
