 indication that you want to keep it?

 I think we should separate those two. My original motivation for this
 ticket had to do with performance and engineering -- I didn't want to have
 to deal with lease-renewal in every place and at every time that I have to
 deal with mutation. But, once I started thinking about it, I saw no reason
 why updating a file should obligate you to pay for its survival. Maybe it
 is your file, and you asked me to write into it, and I am willing to give
 you the data you request, but I am not willing to pay for its maintenance.
