This seems a bit weird to me -- I don't think pseudo's db should be part of the filesystem it's maintaining. And I'm wondering whether there is a historical reason for this that I need to be aware of, before I propose moving it to something like export/pseudo. ... And if not, I propose we move it to something like export/pseudo. -s -- Listen, get this. Nobody with a good compiler needs to be justified.
