Can we move the 'competition is good', etc. discussion to another
thread preferably off the dev list.

I'd suggest we refocus this thread on how to respond to the Accumulo
proposal (or whether to respond at all), since thats what we 'know'.
I think it'd be useful correcting at least the 'unlikely tos' with
pointers to committed code.

Code overlap, if any, can be addressed when the code drop happens.
