Absolutely, a networked backend (I am not yet reconciled to the term cloud) will be an additional feature, not a replacement.

In fact the development will proceed in two stages. The first will be to write a much better designed (and faster) replacement for the current calibre database backend, that will be a drop in replacement (i.e. calibre should continue to work exactly as it does now, only faster). This new backend will be modularised in a way that will hopefully make it easy to add support for networked storage.
