Well permaculture is a thing in gardening ^^
I mean, it’s not “forever” as in “until the end of all things”, but as much set and forget as I would like in a knowledgebase (and in a garden).

The marketing mixes metaphors, talking about gardening, growing, curating… all part of sustainable process that includes plants dying.
It also uses words like forever and permanent.
Having content live forever is at odds with metaphors of the natural world, where things naturally die.

I think the metaphors refer to different aspects of the project. The gardening refers to a more deliberate, small scale, cultivated experience tailed to your community, which is opposed to commercial factory farms that produce a monoculture on a massive scale.
The permanence refers to the fact that you own and control the data, so you are in control of its lifecycle, not a third party that could kill it at their discretion.
