Are you suggesting that we should indeed pursue DAX+BTT? One of the cons we also realized was that even if we do support this hybrid model, it will preclude DAX mappings of larger than a page (i.e. 2MB and 1GB) mappings, and the lost performance there is probably not worth the minor gains in convenience from the hybrid mode.

I think breaking basic assumptions of applications is bad, yes. So, pursuing DAX+BTT is interesting in that respsect. I forgot about the limitation you described, however. That does put a rather serious monkeywrench in the works, but I think that it could be worked around. The question is whether anyone is willing to put the work in, and at this stage it's not clear whether it would be worth the effort.
