This idea has circulated around a couple of times already but I just found
this article about the plans for Modeshape 3 rather interesting.

We now have 3 ways of storing binary data inside RHQ (each having different
usages, I know, but still), one of them even having a pluggable architecture.
Drift might be slightly different because of the quite special things it has
to do with the data, but still I think bundles and especially content could be
greatly enhanced (and in the end maybe even simplified) by usage of a jcr repo
for storing the data without too much hassle on our side (well, that's a
strong statement based entirely just on "feelings", no hard evidence, so I
know I'm a bit bold in claiming that ;) ).
Nevertheless, I wanted to share the above link just to bring this debate back
into the picture.
