Some git grep turned out this:

    def _write_favorites_file(self):
        path = env.get_profile_path('favorite_activities')
        favorites_data = {'defaults-mtime': self._last_defaults_mtime,
                          'favorites': self._favorite_bundles}
        simplejson.dump(favorites_data, open(path, 'w'), indent=1)

I know this seems counter-intuitive to lots of engineers, but reading
code actually ends up saving time.
