Getting 2.4 Released - Yes!

[Phil Longstaff]

This strikes me as a *very* reasonable approach to take.  I happen to use the 
SQL backend for my daily use, but then again, I guess I'm supposed to eat my own 
dog food.  Maybe for now, the Save As dialog should be modified to remove the 
SQL backends, and an "Export to SQL" menu entry should be added to include 
them.  This would leave "Open", "Save As" and "Export to SQL" all using the same 
basic dialog box, and the only difference between Save As and Export to SQL 
would be in the items in the storage type dropdown list.

+1.

I won't be trusting the SQL stuff as a primary source for my data for a long 
time, but exporting it to a SQL database so I can query against it would be very 
useful.
