I wanted it removed because it looked like there was a resource named 
"root" or "top" or whatever. Let's go with the current form for this 
release and improve later if we find a better way.

That's not answering the question Deepal .. I think the concern is that if 
you change the underlying DB by mistake you're, um, screwed.

I guess you really aren't - if you switch and switch back effectively 
you've just "connected" to an existing registry datastore. So in effect 
the UI is somewhat de-coupled from the underlying datastore.

The other points raised by Paul and Glen need to be looked into too. Given 
the closeness to the 0.1 release timeframe, I think we may have to leave a 
bunch of those as known issues for the next iteration.
