This advice is consistent with the observation that a single pcp
collector installation cannot scale to thousands of servers, but to
dozens (comfortably) or hundreds (under duress).  Without a federation
or remote-archive-access machinery, periodic copying of archive files
or relaying data to a non-pcp data repository is necessary.
