I'm with you for a lot of this, but I have to say that I don't think
"atomic transactions" are a feature of general purpose filesystems.  If
I store my configuration data with one-value-per-file, how do I
atomically update multiple values?  How do I have a transaction that
rolls back changes if changing value #9 of 10 fails?
