The current implementation does not save anything. The persistence means
needs to be discussed further for operations which have not been
implemented. If you notice some of the xml files, these xml files are
actually used as default value sets for dmtf cimi entities. Thanks.

Just noticed something really old, but might still be important as it
sounds indicative of a security problem.

Just to ask the question, does this mean we have an information leak
here, where "other users on a server" can potentially get details?

Also thinking "race condition", if more than one user is doing stuff
with mock at the same time.  (?) If such a race can occur, and affect
more than just mock, sounds like an easy DoS any time there's a self
service user interface.  (ie Aeolus)
