I've only played with Cloudscape before (Derby's forerunner if you don't know, I'm sure Danny does!). How would people feel about dropping file: support altogether and only using db: repositories then? However this would mean that dbfile: wouldn't work. I don't want to kill a feature "accidentally" that a lot of people rely on.
