There's already a journaling service in the kernel ...
The bboard already keeps its content in the CR and indeed if you visit the CMS you can see the contents of the bboard and other CR clients. The bboard doesn't need versioning so one could argue that use of the CR is overkill.
Is the datamodel design we've inherited perfect? Nope.
Does it suck? Nope
Is it going to get totally restructured in some serious manner? Not likely:
- It would be a huge undertaking
- We have barely scraped together the resources to port what exists and to add relatively minor extensions
- There are serious shortcomings, particularly in the realm of admin and CMS UI, that need to be tackled
- We're really lacking in packages still.
- There are a lot of folks interested in building sites soon, not far off in the future
- etc etc
