We know it's a bad idea. Besides everything else I mentioned, there are _huge_ MongoDB databases out there being that depend on sharding to scale.. we're talking hundreds of machines. It seems very naive to go with a model that loses the benefits of all the lessons the MongoDB development team learned with those use cases, and the work they have done to support them well. We have been there in Canonical.
