Why dont we recommend that users store their own claims locally?

It's not realistic to expect everyone to store their own claims locally. Some will store them w/ credential repositories, others will store them locally but want them backed up, etc.

I expect that, in time, a rating system will be created for credential repositories and those repositories will be rated on whether or not they mine your data, store things encrypted at rest, etc. That said, we may not want to make recommendations that will be overtaken by technology (like encrypting at rest).
