Which Reminds Me

Upon further investigation we see that the case files on the notorious spy Mata Hari, who was shot by a firing squad in 1917, were sealed shut for 100 years. Well, your 100 years are almost up. So, is that a problem for someone? All the people named in the files would probably be dead by now. I wasn't born at the time so obviously that has no bearing on me. I imagine that historians would find the additional information of interest and more books would be written about spies and World War I and other related points, after the files are opened. So?
