Perhaps! :)

    CW> Are packing and non-packing versions available?

Yes.  There are actually two non-packing versions available, one that
does reference counting and one that doesn't (but might have other
benefits).  At some point, I plan on merging those two non-packing
versions.

    CW> Is anyone using it in production yet?

We (ZopeCorp) are testing it with real data for a couple of new sites,
and we start by migrating an entire FileStorage over to a (Berkeley)
Full storage by using the (mostly undocumented) interator interface.

We've discovered a fixed a few bugs since the last official 1.0b3
release, so I should probably generate a 1.0b4 (I'll do that today).
Once we're comfortable with its stability, we'll do a 1.0 final
release.  Please see
