It is nice to say to keep transferring your data to the latest format,
and I will do this while I am still alive, but I can not be 100% certain
that someone else will continue to do this after I am dead.

Make sure that others have access to the data, and put in your will that
you want the data gifted to some suitable organisation(s) on strict
conditions that access to the data is never charged for or restricted.
