// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// TODO
//
// 1. the default tracking cookie expires in 1 year, but the persons are not
// removed from the db - this means the database only grows - ideally the
// database should be cleaned in registry_db_save() for both on-disk and
// on-memory entries.
//
// Cleanup:
// i. Find all the PERSONs that have expired cookie
// ii. For each of their PERSON_URLs:
// - decrement the linked MACHINE links
// - if the linked MACHINE has no other links, remove the linked MACHINE too
// - remove the PERSON_URL
//
// 2. add protection to prevent abusing the registry by flooding it with
// requests to fill the memory and crash it.
//
// Possible protections:
// - limit the number of URLs per person
// - limit the number of URLs per machine
// - limit the number of persons
// - limit the number of machines
// - [DONE] limit the size of URLs
// - [DONE] limit the size of PERSON_URL names
// - limit the number of requests that add data to the registry,
// per client IP per hour
//
// 3. lower memory requirements
//
// - embed avl structures directly into registry objects, instead of DICTIONARY
// [DONE for PERSON_URLs, PENDING for MACHINE_URLs]
// - store GUIDs in memory as UUID instead of char *
// - do not track persons using the demo machines only
// (i.e. start tracking them only when they access a non-demo machine)
// - [DONE] do not track custom dashboards by default
