I disagree here: P2P/decentralized archival is a _resilient_ archival
method and is _not_ in contrast with long-term: a group of users
(including institutions at various levels) can decide that some or all
of a "decentralized Software Heritage" archive deserves availability
guarantees :-)

so maybe Software Heritage could have a decentralized storage model
instead of a centralized one... but this have direct implications on
what content swh can store (I mean non-free sofware)
anyway decentralized storage (IPFS/gnu:net)is already in Guix radar,
could be in swh radar too :-)
"decentralized software heritage" could even be an interesting
application on top secushare :-O
thanks! Gio
