They're not redundant if you have a policy that means different 
departments use different subtrees of aZODB, and they each connect to 
different databases on different database servers.

Zope's current method is a cheap attempt at connection pooling without 
doing real connection pooling, and one that uses _v_ variables in a very 
dodgy fashion...
