You definitely can do it; the question is what you consider
reasonable in terms of development effort, performance, and
concurrency. I think the problem can be solved with non-scary
values of pretty much any two of those. I guess my assumption is
that we won't handle the general case until someone wants to put
the substantial development effort into making the other two
acceptable.
