Diversity is good - supported diversity is better.

What we need in the Zope is a supported and rocket-solid backends. We have 
this with FileStorage and ZEO. Relstorage is likely to become a good 
alternative as soon as it becomes mature . DirectoryStorage is around for a 
while (although not widely used). So if you come up with a new storage 
backend: what problems would it solve compared to the existing one. 
Implementing a backend is obviously is a complex thing (when you want to 
get it right) -> see Relstorage. The ZODB backend storage is likely to be 
cleaned-up (from what I've head) in order to make it more easy to plug in 
in a custom backend.
