Well, hopefully it's some consolation that in 0.4, all you have to do is
wipe* the directory file for the datastore and this will be virtually
impossible. The datastore will be one huge encrypted file and the
encryption key will be in the directory file.
(* wipe == delete + overwrite those blocks with random data multiple times,
e.g. the 'wipe' program for unix -- for those who don't know)
