Most of the stuff in the data directory isn't "presented" to the user, so I
don't see that argument.

That, and using a scheme like 'versioncache' and 'params' allows us to
exploit features unique to perl to speed stuff up. There *may* be a bug on
moving all that into the database, but... I couldn't find it... which
wouldn't surprise me at all.

Later,
