I don't particularly trust NFS to be either reliable or performant for
database use. Do you? And what if you want additional functionality,
like sharding or mirroring? ISTM that something built around a custom
protocol that mimics exactly what we need from the smgr layer would be
a lot easier to set up and a lot easier to be confident in.
