For what it's worth, we expect ZEO+OracleStorage to become the dominant
case for "enterprise" customers.  People get something that is
considered completely trustworth at storage/retrieval of terabytes of
data, plus has well-known backup and failover strategies.  ZEO, though,
gives them objecct semantics, in-memory caching, etc.
