It's all moot if you ask me. Graphene is already creaking with 1 years worth of UTF-8 blobs. You would know very well, Hive account@liondani just how likely it is that within 6 months the whole database will come to a grinding halt, for good.

I'm betting that the answer to the question of wtf ned and dan are doing, is probably not that complicated. They know I am right.
