That's not what I was thinking. IMHO it's *hm* a flaw. It's simply not 
clean and while it improves speed and allows easier handling of the for 
specific tasks it prohibits many things you coan do usually with a RDBMS.

Just like the poor class structure (too few classes, little abstraction) 
of the codebase/API it's working but isn't polished or academic. AFAIK 
this does not prevent TYPO3 from fulfilling it's task. So this is why I 
don't bother - it's working and I don't see a reason why and no way how 
I could convince Kasper to change running code just to beautify it.
