Thoughts? How wedded is Koha to SQL in the long run?

Very wedded for now, and logically so, imho. 

We don't use SQL for indexing large numbers of (MARCXML) documents.  We use zebra for that.  Zebra, despite whatever complaints we might have about ease of configuration, certainly is highly scalable.  

Our documents are still pretty small by rest-of-the-world standards, though I could see this question coming back if features around digital repository functionality are submitted.
