We already discussed about this issue and decided that shipping two
versions of SQLStore
is rather a bad idea for various reasons including
1. We don't want redundant code
2. It creates unnecessary confusion
3. Users might keep using Store2 unknowingly
Its better to ship with SQLStore (storerewrite) only. Since this version
will use new tables and
the older tables aren't deleted one can switch back to Store2 (older
version) anytime. If time permits
(for my GSoC project), there could be a migration script too that will
copy the data from older tables
to newer ones so they can be used by storerewrite, otherwise the only
option left is to run the update
script.
