For a while, I was foolishly wanting to leverage ZODB database revisions for
version-control-like functionality. When I was thinking that way, I was
talking about having fine-grained packing policies. I now think that
using database revisions for application-level version control is
a bad idea.

I'd be happy to have database-wide auto-packing capabilities
and settings.
