I would have the entire chan archived frequently, if it were me, but this is costly and time-consuming. I don't disagree with you, in spirit.
I'm approaching this from a security analysis point-of-view. Economics in time and resources, with the assumption we will go under eventually or unexpectedly is my lens. This should not be interpreted as a threat or dooming, but simply that it follows from every historical node that is available (FC, our own anti-spam tech which took down threads, inevitable future software vulnerabilities, possible unforeseen accidents (legitimate life events) or attacks against staff, 4niggers' takedown itself, endchan's rogue mod who infected all the boards, and so on).
/pol/ is the most popular, that goes without saying. It follows, to me, that it will be the one that is most often archived by other anons who are not the owner. If /sig/ is an archive of our best material, it's a corollary that it should be prioritized as a space which is preserved at all costs. That is the crux of my arguments (and counter-arguments). I'm not saying I'm correct here, just that it seems to me to be best on these bases alone.
