Looking at the article referenced by Shane I understand that we'd have
to drop consistency for being able to use such a store -- I feel that's
not a good idea in the face of ZODB. The applications we write are
intended to run consistently without having application-level (or even
user-based) reconciliation work to do if a transaction came through.

Apart from the stores being hip ... what problems are you trying to solve?
