Jebus, i'm afraid fsfs is going to turn into a complete
hodge-podge. revs and revprops in one format, locks in another,
mergeinfo in a third (and this talk of "read locks" is *really*
scaring me; that's one hell of a regression!), and now two
proposals this week for *more* sqlite dbs: revprop indexing and
sequence values?

Color me -0.9 this one.
