Argh, communication.  That still could be too-easily misinterpreted,  
and I didn't stare at it long enough before I sent it.  One more try.

Meanwhile, deciding that a community project require any specific  
backend--Ape, FileStorage, DirectoryStorage, or another--feels like a  
mistake.  Discarding FileStorage or DirectoryStorage, as Florent  
argues, is a significant case of "throwing the baby out with the bath  
water".  We have at least three maintained and capable ZODB backends,  
with different strengths and weaknesses, appropriate for different  
use cases.  Lets not jump to discard any of them.
