Perhaps.  The issue is that it's basically going to be the same thing as the
Bayes system entirely -- versioning, upgrades, magic tokens, new key/value
formats, and expiry system.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, again, and putting in copied/new code
instead of reusing what we already have, I'd think the generic solution is the
better way.

That said, if instead of time-based expiry we wanted to do something else like
count-based expiries, that's doable without having to change everything
around.  The problem starts when we want to change the format of the AWL DB to
do time expiry.
