List,

    One of my enhancements for future versions of w3af is to start
using a real ORM inside w3af [0] and while I'm thinking about it I
would like your inputs. For those who don't know exactly where the ORM
would be used, here is a summary:

        * HTTP requests and responses (at least the meta-data, not the body)
        * Lists and sets which are stored in disk instead of memory

    If we add a real ORM to w3af we would get these benefits:

        * Less code we need to maintain
        * Replace our custom ORM with something tens of thousands
other developers use. Much more tested and maintained
        * Potentially fix issues like [1] which I haven't been able to
fix for at least 2 years

    And the cons are:
        * One more dependency, but hopefully we'll find something that
is pure python or very easy to install on all platforms. (Starting to
think like you Taras!)

    Ideas?
