What makes the datastore so nasty to fix is that it's not a matter of
weeding the bugs out of a sufficient design.. there are just big
architectural holes that still need to be filled. I'm not trying
to discourage anyone from finding and fixing bugs in the current
system, but I'm totally convinced that any serious effort to make
it really robust will lead the designer down the same paths of
extensive re-designing that I've been down.
