Ok, you caught me... I didn't fully read it. Now that I have, you're right I am being a bit harsh :-)
And yes, "registry" does indeed bring forth certain prejudices. I recon this is somewhat akin to reaching a Common Log Format, a good aim but something which needs a good bit of debate and agreement.
Cheers, Harry

I really urge people to look at it. "Registry" is a poor choice for a name. Too many negative prejudices.
It would make my life a lot nicer! Maybe we should ask upstream to have a look.

Yes, Flat text files can be munged pretty bad but the point is that they can only munge themselves. In a registry there is the possibility of editing fsck$#!ing all of the entries (yeah, backups... I know). Still not a good idea :-)
