The thing that scares me a bit is knowing the data can be blown away at any time. I am imagining an offline data collection app that syncs when online, but the data gets blown away first before the reconnect and sync happens. Not sure if there is a good way to work around that.

Generally speaking, hints that data is really intended to be persistent work decently at resisting eviction, and could be improved in implementations. I don't think I would want a "drive by" API that didn't ALLOW engines to evict.
