Just for the history, we start the dev before the first JCR stable impl and
when JCR was not like today. this is one of the reasons why the architecture
is like this (based on a series of plugin used to access  to heterogenous
content servers).

The  PersistenceManager uses those plugins to access to the different
content server at the same time.The PersistenceManager is a good way to
vistualize your content server into the same tree. Each content request are
sent to the persistence manager which has the responsability to work with
the appropriate content server.

If the new Graffito goal is to access to only one content repo from your
apps, yes we can simplify the architecture but the persistence manager is
working right now (at least 70% stable :-) ) Of course we can improve it but
it makes its job. Furthermore, it is more interesting to access to different
content servers in the same time (even if there are all based on JCR). So,
I'm not sure the architecture could be simplify here. What do you think
about that ?

Using JCR in all cases will not reduce the architecture complexity but it
will reduce the work of course.

I guess this has been discussed before, but I'm curious anyway :)

Wouldn't it simplify the architecture and reduce the work if Graffito
would be based on JCR only instead of supporting various store
implementations? I thought JCR can already handle this.
