gollark: But really, why *not* have SQLite3? It... stores data, it has transactions, it's very well-tested, it satisfies the requirements of Protocol APIO-A33ρ.
gollark: I think systemd actually does roughly that, but with targets.
gollark: I mean, yes, I *could* just use a folder of "services" and a folder of "enabled services" and some symlinks, and that *would* probably work.
gollark: Oh, I have a fun idea, I can use SQLite3 for storing data like which services are enabled.
