Hi,

I'm with Johs: one could point out that one can easily SWITCH between Couch
4 free, a fully commercial-backed Cloudant local and the cloud option as
such. You can upgrade and you can also downgrade when you want to leave the
cloud for some reason. Try that with SF.com!
By the way: this also improves CouchDB's position as there is a
commercially supported counterpart out - so great on another front also

So thanks for summarizing these things!
    Sebastian
