That's an interesting claim, but I bet most would consider it
inaccurate.  The persistent data (in flash) can be obtained with a
long-term password, and that is exactly what isn't allowed under PFS.
The point is that compromise of all long-term keying material (say next
week) does not lead to the ability to decrypt today's conversations.  It
may be a slightly extreme view, but I think the group's position here is
that if you don't have PFS, you don't really have confidentiality.
