I disagree with you argument, Jason, about the government not being
an organization that should provide archives.  Yes, they might select
what is in the archive, but I would hope that any commercial provider would
also "select" what they archive.  Different archivers would potentially
select different overlapping sets.  The Library of Congress is an archive,
along with the National Archives.  Both contain docuements which are
unique to the archive and which are duplicated by other libraries or 
archives.  Why should software be any different?
