I think the only reason there aren't more outrageous dreamworld ideas in the
TODO is that people came along and did a lot of them. 3-phase-commit,
nested-transactions, PITR, etc. were all at some point pretty pie in the sky.

At some level there's not much point in keeping a TODO of ideas we know how to
do, most of those ideas just get done.
