I'm confused why file layout is included in the list of exceptions in the first place. If an adversary knowing your file format is a security problem, then you are doing something very wrong!

And with the ruling that the condition only applies to "other information" (which to me seems like a very strange reading, and probably not the intent of the law), regardless of if a SQL schema is considered a "file layout", creates a massive loophole, where the government can just use some obtuse custom file layout to avoid FOIA requests.
