OK, scratch the word *replace* and insert *modularize* or *coexist with* 
or *drop-in replace*.

db1 can stay, if people are dead set on having it, but there should be 
an option to swap it out entirely for some other database. The problem 
here is all the apps that are hardcoded for db1. Can we get a wrapper 
put in so that the more openminded of us can use an up-to-date database?
