well, just looking at the directory of my current album which is about
to get finished: 60GiB of sample data that I recorded, 98% with obfuscated
names... not to mention the project files. i am really bad at keeping my
work-dir clean. and i think most of the other creative ppl are bad at
it as well-
when i am doing music for example and recording something, i dont even
want
to waste one minute on creating a new subdir and inventing names that are
meaningful, so i can find the stuff later. i usually have an idea or a
glimpse
of the sound i want to create and everything that comes in between is
utterly
bothersome and moving my focus away from what i intended to accomplish :)

of course the db stuff has less priority than the 0.4 release.
