[development] Pathauto scaleability - path column in node / user table

One of the things we discussed doing once 4.8 is open, around the time of vancouver, was that in order to maintain an alias for each and every node, using the path table for that, was just not going to scale. So, simply adding a 'path' column, which is in effect the preferred alias for that object, and then using a node_link($node) function (or just l($node->path)), would allow us to run modules like pathauto on very large production sites with thousands of nodes. This is a faily simple, albeit fairly large patch. Do we have any volunteers / naysayers? -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com
