I don't know of a showstopper. It will probably only turn out, if we
push it out to a lot of testers. It might be a good idea to package up a
manual with some pregenerated sqlite db, and offer it as some BETA (how
popular this designation is nowadays :). Since the code gets pushed out,
we can get some review and patches/improvements maybe.

My only fear is that it is possible that we get too many improvements
without no common direction, and not accepting a good percentage of them
might discouradge quite some contributors.
