Why would Bitcoin need to store data ?
We should agree and define why and what data Bitcoin needs to store.
Bitcoin is to big and important to fuck around and find out.
We have to assume any way to harm Bitcoin will be used to destroy it, so lets not introduce ways or make it easier.
Unintended new ways will be just as damaging, we need to minimize changes for this reason, and be insane sure about all effects any change can have.
