This is pretty much what I mean by "willy-nilly". Little concern seems to be paid to how well it integrates into some holistic information access theory or paradigm. I would expect some adherence to relational algebra, and if that isn't sufficiently powerful, I would like a transition to some more powerful theory rather than welding on the new hotness. I'm not saying I could do it better, mind you.
