Hmm. I think this issue is more complicated than can be captured with a o=

word answer.....

Im sure the majority of people here work with a filesystem that is larger=
 than=20
1G. There are well known solutions for problems like backups and replicat=
ion.=20
However I guess no more than 10% of people reading this list have a 1G ZO=
DB=20
storage. Its not bleeding edge, but there are likely to be times where yo=
u=20
encouter a problem that *should* have a standard solution, but doesnt. Ev=
en=20
the choice of Storage implementation will gather conflicting advice. If y=
ou=20
are happy to make your own choices, then putting everything in the ZODB i=
s=20
not a bad idea.

I hope this helps,
