Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Not sure if this counts as part of the proposed changes, but I noticed
 recently that `populate_roles()` can generate many dozens of consecutive
 database writes, which can wreak havoc in certain environments. I wonder
 if we might consider setting `use_db = false` at the beginning of the
 `populate` process, and then doing a single save at the end.
