At a significant size, sqlite3 will have all sorts of lock contention
and other issues.  You'll want to get to replication, caching,
redundancy, etc. eventually for the data storage layer.  Those issues
are all solved and trivial with CouchDB.

You could solve them with MySQL or PostgreSQL as well, but the reality
is we would be using those databases in the most trivial manner
possible.  Once the search interface is improved, I think this will
become significantly less of an issue.
