I don't know. I guess it's mostly for verifying that the integration works, without having to have real object storage infrastructure in place (key word: guess). > To me it sounds like it was added as compat layer if no real objectstore > is > available.

Perhaps a further amendment down the track would be to insist that a backend be explicitly set, and error if objectstore is enabled otherwise.
