Yes. Because this is where the information that something got
overwritten is stored. And in this case, the datastore would
essentially consist of a single key/value pair. The phrase 'complete
datastore' may indicate something complex while it can actually be
lightweight. In any case, somewhere information must be kept that
something was overwritten - we call this something a datastore.
