+1. While we're at it (post-1.7), we might consider a design that allows admins to keep old values of properties, too, for auditability. I would imagine (perhaps naively) that if were only ever appending to packed files and updating fixed-location/fixed-width manifests, for example, much of this I/O worry would go away. -- C.
