go for it. there's already two working implementations (mysql,
postgres) to test. adding others would be cool :-)

as has been stated here before: the move to postgres wasn't primarily
for performance reasons. and, while benchmarking would be nice, it
isn't as high a priority as getting a working set of migrations.
