Trading my newbie hat for my Leo-as-a-data-managing-platform hat: COOL, lots of capability could emerge in addition to the scalability issue. A project has been started to write a ZODB book. http://zodbdocs.blogspot.com/2010/06/z-object-database-zodb-has-been-in.html Since nosql is all the rage these days, and ZODB has a 10 year head start on the other players, it's time may be coming. Leo + ZODB ... look out!
