For some "extremists" storing the text in the database is bad.
Why not explore the file storage for text?

Several other wikis store page text in the db. I think mediawiki is one
good example.

I don't think modern dbs have much issues with such data. It's also
convenient as a db backup will capture all the wiki data incl text, not
just page links or todos.

However, considering other page data storage formats is not a bad idea if
you have good reasons to do it. I don't think "extermist" preference is
good enough a reason. ;) Performance, generality, better search, etc might
be. But I think it'd be good to have a design, perf and usability goals in
mind for making such a change.
