Yes, absolutely, the idea is to split db.txt into a separate git tree
too actually so that should help with keeping track of changes
separately and thinking of them separately.

We just need to get this git tree created. What crda will need though
is to wget the RSA public key so it can be built with support for new
arbitrary updates to the binary db. Give us a few days, we'll get this
setup.
