I think it's good for new storage managers to have full control over
interactions with indexes. I'm not sure about the MVCC part. I think
it would be legitimate to want a storage manager to ignore MVCC
altogether - e.g. to build a non-transactional table. I don't know
that it would be a very good idea to have two different full-fledged
MVCC implementations, though. Like Tom says, that would be
replicating a lot of the awfulness of the MySQL model.
