Again, I don't care about distributed consistency here, nor is it mutually exclusive with what I'm talking about.
The question we're trying to answer is whether there exists at all a storage engine, at the scope of a single node (obviously generalizable/scalable), that can fit all use cases well. Once you figure out the answer to that, obviously having one storage engine is simpler than having two storage engines.
