Yeah, it's much more 'everything as a resource' - at least, that's the 
philosophy we're trying to work with, rather than just encouraging what amounts 
to database queries to fill in templates.  It's fantastically difficult to know 
what data is affecting what host if you just do the queries, but it's 
reasonable to come up with a plan for managing dependencies if you stick to 
export/collect.
