The more I think about it, the more I like Michael Davidsaver's idea: Make SNC/SNL directly work with the EPICS process database, with no Channel Access involved. That would cut down the code base, significantly reduce complexity, and put the sequencer exactly where it belongs - inside the IOC, complementing the process database as a local tool to implement finite state machines.

Slightly OT, but: I see this as an excellent example for Complexity Bias. We have the tendency to add complexity to solve problems, where often reducing complexity yields a better solution.
