Heh, no chance I can introduce this at work and hard to have a personal project requiring it. :)

I think you probably need some documentation to the effect of the current state of affairs, as well as prescriptions as to how to work around it. _Most_ live workloads, even if the total dataset is huge, have a pretty small working set. So limiting DB operations to simple fetches and doing any complex operations in memory is viable, but should be prescribed as the solution or people will consider it's omission as a fault instead of a choice.
