In theory, if the new FOM is complete, you can have access to the database connection avalon component directly from getComponent() and the petstore can be changed accordingly. This would: 1) remove the need for database.js 2) keep concerns separate 3) avoid the need for a javascript extension concept that we planned but never came to even design.
