istm that future work on distributed databases would require some
generic API layer, perhaps identical to the current smgr layer or
perhaps something higher up. Maybe an alternate local storage scheme
could plug into that same interface, much as storage managers used to
do.

If this is accurate, then someone could demonstrate the sleepycat code
without having to impact other parts of the code?
