Actually forgetful might be useful.
The great point of the current architecture is that it saves chunks using the selected scheme, but uses ALL available schemes for loading.
If you have built something on your server (while set to compact) and you want the general public to be able to walk in your world, but not let them do changes, set the storage to forgetful and restart the server.
Potential griefers are happy that they destroyed half your creation, imagine their shock when they log back in in two minutes to see their damage completely undone
But to be fair, forgetful is there only because it is kind of a coding example of how to plug a storage scheme to the system, for the developers of new storage schemas
