Perhaps, but we won't know if we don't try. I think we should try,
and be willing to add hooks and flexibility to core as needed to make
it possible. Adding such flexibility would be good for other outside
projects that have no chance of (or perhaps no interest in) getting into
core, even if we end up deciding that ZedStore or some other specific
implementation is so useful that it does belong in core.
