One of the things that is currently floating around my head definately has to do with an abstracted spell access layer, to allow for things like this.

that said, a full on database will almost definately NOT be the solution that is used by default (though a layer could be written to support it) - If /anything/ we will simply switch to using a cvs dir structure, so people can update via cvs instead of tarballs. But even that has its drawbacks.

As I have tried to say before, all this is VERY VERY early. Lets get 1.0 done, and then let fly with all the fun ideas for how to make things better. Because there are lots of ways to do it... and many of them have value, but conflict. Which means we will have a great discussion post 1.0.

In the end, it will come down to developers, team leads, and most importantly, Nick.

I'd agree with you on perl. MySQL though I doubt it. I refuse to
install that right now. I see absolutely no need to have that on my
system. The less stuff I have to have running, the better. That and I
want to be capable of choosing what I have running at any given time. I
do not want MySQL running at all times on my system, and starting MySQL
every time I want to install or remove a program would be a pain.

Why does it have to be MySQL? Some people prefere PostgreSQL (freer
license), but I'd rather DB as it's already installed on almost all boxes,
is lighter, less CPU intensive, and provides a small database.
