Actually,

I think that, ideally, we would store all this data in an sqlite
database, rather than in separate files in separate directories.
We would do the same for the CLI help text, now that it
has gotten so mature, and we would be able to use _exactly_ the
same database schema for both, since, at least in theory, CLI
help text should be available in any language.

However, we would have to handle version control of the structure
of the database and also its contents.

It might be that adding an sqlite dependency to anaconda
is not so attractive to some.

Also, I don't know how translation is expected to work with the
contents of databases.

So maybe this idea is a bit too ambitious. But now is as good
a time to think about it as any.
