Plus I believe you are prohibited by terms of service from using the Terminologies service for cataloging. So let's say that in some cases, if you aren't using it for cataloging, and are willing to deal with no service assurance, Terminologies service can replace other databases. I'm sure there are people who will find it useful within these constraints (including myself at some point), but Karen probably mis-spoke if she implied more.
