That all sounds great to me. I would also like the add one more action
to the list:
* Move the sqlite code from the util package and into newtmgr.
(some background: both newt and newtmgr depend on the util library.)
Newtmgr is the only tool which uses sqlite these days. Keeping the
sqlite dependency in util is problematic because the sqlite library
contains C code (in addition to Go code). This means that building Newt
requires more tools than it should, which is not ideal for lightweight
virtual environments.
