Alright, this spec is about dealing with the user confusion caused by
the datastore and filestore being independent of eachother and
potentially diverging etc. Let's try and keep this on topic as it's
already wandered quite a lot. If there are other problems with the
datastore lets deal with them separately..

If you're working on a datastore loader script, you may want to
coordinate with Dominik Moritz and Nigel Babu as they're currently
working on a datastore loading service and script, which are intended to
replace the existing ckanext-datastorer. It sounds like they're also
trying to solve some of the same issues as you are.
