Well, as for 'native' data store in a world where DB-API was the only
abstraction we'd have, I was thinking Gadfly or something in that spirit.

But, that said, Chuq's latest post made me realize the need to accomodate
existing installations and migrating existing data. So, rather than go for
the slam-dunk pure-db-api with nothing on top of it, I am coming back
around in my own mind to J C's original proposal that there'd need to be
some sort of custom abstraction layer. =)
