It could also be argued that this is the first step in making that
information disappear.  Keep moving it to raise the doubt that it has
not disappeared but one is simply not "digging" deep enough to find it.

It also raises the level of friction for workers who have relied on that
info being there.  Greatly increasing the time required for a task that
involves referencing that info in some way.

Of course, if this info is core to what someone does they are an idiot
for not mirroring the data in some fashion.  Never rely on another party
for a core dependency.  To me, this is the number one reason against
proprietary operating systems and applications.
