Ha!  So just why do you think I moved off FileStorage for Data.fs?

That said there's some value in getting a versioning data store with
rollback support for list configs.  The data volume isn't huge, but it
is highly sensitive.  I'd also like to see flat text logging of all
configuration changes in addition to moderation activity.  It would save
the help and support desks a lot of hurt.
