Why are there so many input files in the datapackage? Why are custom filenames used?

[willu47]

There are over 100 files in the datapackages used by OSeMBE. The use of custom files means that the standard version of otoole will never be suitable for use with OSeMBE, even with implementation of custom config in otoole.

• Why are the files named by country? Why not include all the countries in one file?
• Placing the country codes at the beginning of the file makes it very difficult to keep track of the files as they are alphabetised by country rather than by parameter.
