Is the new virtual graphs engine going to be exclusively relational database or can it be extended to other data sources? I seem to remember some discussion a while ago about generalizing it and having it assume what would now be done with property functions.

We switched to a native implementation exactly so that it’s sane to extend to non-RDBMS sources. We will be working on that during the 5.x cycle. The initial release will be relational and CVS.
