Moved this to improvement as this is more involved than a technical task.

> Instead of writing the current head revision to the {{journal.log}} file we
> could make it an integral part of the node states: as OAK-3804 demonstrates
> we already have very good heuristics to reconstruct a lost journal. If we add
> the right annotations to the root node states this could replace the current
> approach. The latter is problematic as it relies on the flush thread properly
> and timely updating {{journal.log}}. See e.g. OAK-3303.
