Yup. I attended Aarons talk at IPC9 about Gadfly 2 and have been wanting
to get my hands on it ever since. I don't think Gadfly 2 was ever completed.
I was told recently, however, that even Gadfly 1 is somewhat pluggable.
Originally, I wanted Gadfly 2 to give me an SQL front end, but the various
discussions over the last few months about modeling relationships made
me realize how great it would be to combine Gadfly and ZODB.
