If you really care about a foreign project/archive history, 
then you can mirror the archive (what you should do in most 
cases), so if the original creator decides to nuke it, you 
do not lose anything.

It does not sound like a deficiency to me. Rather, you have 
a choice to make (mirror or not mirror) instead of having no 
one (e.g. with CVS).
