Lacks of ponies might be an item in your wishlist. The bug is that nobody gets unicorns. Seriously now. We wanna focus on the licensing change. Tools for that are gonna eat up developers' time. That said: the growth of commercial hardware capabilities is not keeping up with the growth of data in the OSM database. That means we're pretty much frakked in two to three years. Which means that the first priority for 0.7 should be splitting the DB out to more than one monster-sized server. I do think that proper sharding/replication/whatever will need changes at the API level. I do not completely trust database-level-only sharding/replication/whatever.
