I think that there might be an even bigger opportunity here; with  
three different ORMs
in play, it's going to make it more complicated to specify models (or  
generate migrations)
in plugins. Hobofields could probably be set up as the abstraction  
layer, that works
with *any* of the ORMs to generate migrations and wrap field data.

Otherwise, I would think that there'd be some fracturing within the  
community; most plugin
authors aren't going to want to support a whole stack of adapters, and  
running more than
one would seem to be bad for performance..
