Thanks for the clarification; you and the ISPRAS folks are doing a
great job, so I haven't really needed to learn all of the details of
what's going on behind the scenes, but one of the things that would be
good me to do sometime next week is sit down with you and maybe
Vladimir or Alexey and make sure I understand all of the data flows
and processes around the database.  Where data is stored/backed up
(i.e., is it all in bzr at this point), etc.

Most of my knowledge about how the database works predates ISPRAS, and
it's been about that long since I've done any amount of even read-only
database work with the LSB database.  So my knowledge is quite out of
date at this point...
