Are you proposing that we don't use transparent persistence for
storing blocks and other associated UI data structures?
Yes, that is the suggestion/proposal.
It seems to me that the transparent persistence isn't a problem but a
feature because it makes the code so much easier to write and much
less error prone.
Having worked on lots of projects that required I do a SQL queries
every time I need to access some data convince me that it slows
progress. I suspect a better solution would be to keep a mostly
transparent persistence model but change the data storage and/or data
structure underneath it to avoid requiring the programmer to manage
the data access manually.
