potentially eating away data? without schema you don't have a default to
fall back to for application preferences and for state. it might end up
deleting existing account data, for instance. or eating your files.

nope, what you don't seems to understand is that you don't let the calling program deal with it. With this behavviour
you now have to protect your code from crashing by checking everytime that the schemas (or even the key) exists.
No data is eaten if the calling application show a gracefull message and exit from itself.
