idea: Move root out of backend to operator instead
Every services need to handle root, which most of the time is duplicated. Maybe we can move root of backend and handling at operato level?
Benefits:
- Operator can implement something like
cd/change_rootso users don't need to build a new one. - Services don't need to handle root logic again and again.
Most services should work smoothly, but we need to handle Windows paths carefully, as they will require a format like C:\\path\\to\\data.
IMO it is better to build an absolute path at the operator level and pass it to the service backends. It delivers a clear path which may reduce path-related bugs when implementing a backend.

That's exactly what this idea want to address
We will need an RFC to start working on this. It will introduce significant breaking changes for our users, as most of them are familiar with the pattern that sets the root during configuration.
