Erm.
The current backend format is effectively just that, except using the
available subset of filesystem semantics to provide atomicity, locking,
and assorted other goodness.
The only thing I think you're really buying with your proposal is
flattening out the file structure to not have subdirectories (and thus
their default permissions) at issue -- but that still doesn't completely
fix the umask problem (ie. if the default umask doesn't provide even
read access to other users), and is a pretty strong loss on some other
accounts.
