Is anyone planning to work on making FLOW3 support multiple db connections 
(say to both CouchDB and MySQL at the same time, or even two MySQL dbs)? Is 
it at the bottom of your list of things to work on, or is someone planning 
to work on it in the next three months or so?

I'm just trying to get a feel for how important this feature is to those 
developing FLOW3. Obviously there are things that are more important right 
now (at least in my view). :)
