I'm pretty sure we have no plans to do that ever; if we ended up running
out of resources, it'd be much simpler to spin off some databases off to
a new server entirely than set up multiple replication with roundrobin.

In fact, that's a very good example of a situation where trusting that
there is a stable map between shard and database would bite your behind.
