[SR-Users] [sr-dev] new module db_kazoo

Hello,

I see there are some new functions prefixed with kazoo_, using a 
terminology familiar with presence extensions. Also, looking at the 
source code a bit, the module doesn't seem to be an implementation of a 
database connector. Am I right? I mean, just for example, it cannot be 
used as a replacement for db_mysql.

If it is not a database connector, then I would suggest to remove the 
db_ prefix from the name of the module, because it creates confusion. 
Several years ago, database connectors used to have any kind of name, 
but it was decided to prefix them with 'db_' to be easier to spot and 
manage.

As I see it right now, I would choose either simply 'kazoo', 
'amqp_kazoo' or something else without db_ prefix.

Cheers,
Daniel
