At the moment, we do not know how the most efficient storage mechanism for Session Manager. Our first objective is therefore to obtain a mechanism that is reasonably efficient, well-defined, and in which we can easily measure performance.

Additional design goals:

* Testable and benchmarkable, ideally using synthetic loads from real use
* Factored out in a way that's swappable, should we need to shift implementation strategies
* Logic in manager, persistence in storage.

That points to no singletons, and nice precisely defined APIs. Which should be a joy :)

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
