Having just spent a good chunk of the past year on the technical
issues, and having participated in the LSM development process since
its inception, I'd say there's at least a year before the dust settles.
Having a wad of code that works is one thing. Breaking it into chunks
that are both useful and small enough for the community to swallow is
another. Transforming a collection of clever hacks into an infrastructure
is a third. Once that's done we can deal with the naysayers.

Fortunately, we have a wad of code that works. Nobody seems to
think that taking that code as is is a great idea. Nobody has
this as their first priority, either. We're making progress, but
we know we need to be careful. I seriously doubt we'll get more
than one shot at it.
