Continuing the discussion from [Adding model and table with plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-model-and-table-with-plugin/38003/2):

Is the idea that when someone uninstalls the plugin the plugins saved data should also be deleted? If that is the idea this is not the wanted behaviour of my particular plugin. With that said, is there any other benefits of using PluginStore that I should take in consideration? I might add that the data that is going to be saved is migrated from another forum which has functionality that Discourse lacks and therefore I am building a plugin for it. This means that it is very important that the data is persisted permanently.
