Well, Hassan, that's just it. If I launch the application now, let it
build up a solid user base over the next 6 months to a year, and then
SF screws something up, now I have a database potentially several
gigabytes in size that I have to move from Heroku to Engine Yard or
some other place. That is kind of a big deal. While it's simple in
theory, I'm not sure I trust SF to avoid trying to prevent me from
accessing my own database/data and/or doing some form of a SQL dump to
export it all elsewhere.

My question to the community is: do you trust Salesforce.com not to
screw up the platform or introduce additional financial, technological
or procedural burdens on customers?
