Why on earth is it so difficult for RIM to just ALLOW users to keep that stuff on a removable media card, along with the music, ringtones, etc? OBVIOUSLY if they can facilitate storage of one form of data on media cards, they could do so for any and all of it.
I submit that there is NO DEFENSIBLE REASON for RIM to maintain this antiquated constraint!

There are plenty of reasons, two that spring immediately to mind are security and performance.
One other word that springs to mind in response to this little rant would be backup.
