Quoth wb.kloke@gmail.com:
> Allow me to disagree. Arenas are, mostly, append-only. Index is write-random.

Once a disk is full, there are no updates that can be done. Venti simply can't
produce enough writes to wear out an index on the same disk. You run out of
disk space first.

And an index on a separate disk is disposable; you can replace the disk and
generate a new index with no data loss.
