Ahem. The Grand Unified Theory of OLPC was that the datastore/journal were going to entirely replace the filesystem (as far as Activites are concerned). Activities aren't permitted to read/write the ordinary Linux filesystem, according to this theory. If the datastore isn't just as ready, just as fast, and just as available as the filesystem, e.g. for holding tiny little files that rapidly keep the Activity's configuation options, then there's something terribly wrong here.
