The question is how may DBs are needed ? If mainly a ref DB is needed, it
will integrate small DB from TWIC, tournaments, etc. So for me the states
"checked, to verify, dubious, incomplete, missing" are transient and
- either a DB is good enough and it is incorporated in ref DB, and then it
can be deleted,
- either it is incomplete or dubious (or whatever) and this state should not
last long (or this means nobody will never fix it, and it will pile up in a
forever growing todo list).
So my idea is to have a DB (or several DBs) that is fed by several sources,
like source code is commited, and not have "dubious" DB which are like buggy
source code files left over.
