Yep :-)

You are right, there is a problem here. The main problem - which is
why, as you mention - Jigsaw is fragile - is that they are no ways to
tell Java to execute a hook before exiting. On UNIX, for example, you
cannot catch any signals in order to do the cleanup (which is probably
what you would get when typing reboot). 

I will try to provide something close to write-through, since this is
(unfortunately) the only way to deal with it. (probably a separate thread
waiting on config writes, which would save the stores ...)

Thanks for the feedback,
Anselm.
