Hi all, Filipe, great work!
I think separate DBs make sense, but with a different angle. Say I want to replicate all users to a new instance. I don't want to write a replication filter for that. Replicating replication tasks sounds like a nice meta-CouchDB- programming thing I want to explore. People could benchmark their clusters by how many levels of replication it can take (think recursion :) I see more "tasks" coming up in the future, say continuous compaction, or compaction when certain events happen. For this, a single DB _tasks would make sense to keep replication, compaction and whatever other tasks we can come up with. Users are not tasks, so they should be separate. Also, the _users db is special cased in our auth-system, I'd rather not intermingle it with items that don't need as high security (not saying you shouldn't be able to hide tasks, but it is a different thing).
