We can't support every technology that comes along. We don't release
things and abandon them without serious deliberation, so supporting
things is not free.

Nobody involved with the project has any experience with Redis, or if
they have, they haven't said so. If somebody interested in supporting it
shows up to do the work and support/maintain the code, it will probably
get done. If not, probably not.

My focus is on avoiding server-side storage altogether and there are
very few use cases for non-persistent storage in Shibboleth that can't
be handled on the client.

If we were going to spend real project time in the core team on anything
involving state management at this point, I think it should be some way
to replicate webflow state.
