Probably not? With the SQLite store being a thing, probably not worth keeping even as an example. That being said, if it works and isn't hard to maintain, then why not keep it? The problem is it is difficult to maintain. You need to teach various tests about the existing of different backends because test output varies. Search for `simplestore` in the tests directory to see all the conditionals. Given the cost of maintaining support, I don't think it can justify its existence. That being said, I'll probably regret this decision someday. Meh.
