and even better: all config will be available in human readable format in filesystem from v8.3

Version control and future versions of Ignition (8.3?)

Note that 'Gateway Events', as in 'Gateway Event Scripts', are a regular project resource and already stored on the filesystem. Their actual storage format is also planned to be revamped in 8.3, so that they're broken up into distinct resources in a human-readable format, but that's orthogonal to gateway configuration itself (db connections, device drivers, etc).
