I'll be talking about this in my presentation next week.  Maybe you'll
be there to argue the point :-)

In brief: Our main goal at this point was to store the postings in an SQL
database while breaking as little other code as possible.  I don't see
how I could have met either of those requirements by working on the CMF
discussions tool.  IMHO, moving to an external storage changes things
radically enough that a new tool was justified.

Since we are trying to migrate Squishdot postings, there is no attempt at
all to store CMF Documents in the SQL database.  I think that would
actually be harder when you consider trying to maintain CMF metadata in
an external storage in a way that might possibly stay in sync with the
changing CMF.
