That's excellent news Toby, and a big help for people (like me) who are
getting serious about moving to Zope 3. I've got a biggish (4 GB) Zope
2.7 datastore in DirectoryStorage, and the reason you never hear from me
on the list is that it Just Works.

It's the replication feature of DirectoryStorage that finally got Zope
past the IT gatekeepers in my company. (It also gives me peace of mind,
though in two years I have never had to restore a backup.)

Thanks.
