Right, we've got some success stories on Hammer already with it. Though
I much prefer Jewel too. ;-)

Right. The main problem in my experience with cache tiering is that one
needs to know the answers to a bunch of questions most customers don't
have ;-) e.g., configuring the working set, flush/eviction policies,
etc. It's very helpful in some use cases, but mainly we're seeing it
used in the "band aid" mode. And I'd really love to get rid of those.
