It can certainly be very useful for read operations, assuming the databases 
are synchronized. Write operations are the ones that are problematic and it's 
not something I expect such a module to solve by itself because the solution 
doesn't belong to this realm. Even with transaction support there are still 
issues that are not solved when writing. Distributed databases are a hard 
problem. My only intention was to highlight the potential issues so that there 
are no illusions about what can be done right now, even with this new module.
