I think I agree. I suspect that's how you'd end up doing that with
other systems.

I presume we want an attribute, but I agree it seems like a new one,
so there's problems of migration. Seems a fairly easy one to guess
when adding a file: look at the file and see if it's got consistent
line endings or not.
I guess it would be nice to get this all sorted at the same time as
rosters, since that already involves changing databases.
