> Working with the ASF and the CouchDB community, we hope to integrate the core capabilities of BigCouch into Apache CouchDB. Hopefully this will put to rest the tired (and false) “CouchDB doesn’t scale” meme.
This is kind of hilarious, seeing as how the whole reason why CouchDB (and all the other NoSQL databases) exist is because of the "MySQL doesn't scale" meme...

Wrong, the whole reason why NoSQL databases exist is that SQL databases aren't always the best solution for any given problem. CouchDB in particular tries to solve different problems than MySQL does, or the same problems in a different way. You should learn about it rather than citing misinformed memes.
