There is some preliminary work on a plugin system for CouchDB that would =
allow anyone to publish and install plugins for CouchDB without the need =
for us to include and maintain that code as part of core CouchDB.

The Persona plugin can easily live in that infrastructure.

too see Persona / BrowserId to be bundled too!
