I have mixed feelings.

On one side I think we need to preserve this relic as we did with Homer's poetry. Because it just deserves.

On another side I think we won't (and should not) try to preserve in an infinite present whatever has been written by humanity. For what purpose?

Call it a piece of art. For me it is. And I won't discuss art here, because this is difficult. :-)
