Luckily we can apply the same design principles here:
1. In the new system, comments will have to be structured. For now, the categories will be GNOME3 flames, RPM vs. DEB flames, strident messages about how X violates the spirit of UNIX, and "other." More categories will be added later as needed.
2. The comments will be stored in an undocumented binary format. In the short term, this will prevent anyone from reading them. However, the security will be much higher!
3. You'll have to run systemd to make a comment. Luckily, access will be provided through a shared library and a D-BUS interface.
