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. Luis
