MongoDB is basically a superset of the other DBs. That's why we chose
it for GSoC. Cassandra can only do pk queries. So can MongoDB. App
Engine has filtering support. So has MongoDB. CouchDB supports
embedded documents. So does MongoDB.

Of course some DBs have extra features like map/reduce or optimistic
locking, but those can't be mapped to Django's current ORM, anyway, so
they need platform-specific APIs.

What you're expecting here (4 backends!) is a *lot*. Who will write
those backends? If that's what you want then the merge might have to
wait for Django 1.5 or later. What's the problem with just trusting
the people who know this stuff instead of forcing everyone to
demonstrate it with working products?
