Actually, we don't even need to change the user base data. The inventory 
assets are only a [relatively small?] percentage of all the assets in 
the grid asset server. Most of the assets, I would say, are inworld 
things that aren't on any inventory. They are on the "region's 
inventory" so to speak. So we could move all regions into HG mode, 
setting the proper local servers in their OpenSim.ini's. The users 
inventory would still be OSGrid's Inventory server.

Even so, there are a few things that need changing/improving for this to 
happen. But it's not that far out.
