Well, after reading Snowden's comments about what is available (everything) - it would seem that DLD goes hand in hand with storing all traffic for a limited time -- you would need help searching that to actually recover something.

Nope? From the linked translated wikipedia page:

> Data that reveals the content of the communication must not be stored

I meant - if you already, illegally store everything - that everything is problematic to search, and to store permanently. If you also, legally, through DLD store metadata, then that makes your illegally collected data more useful.
