I'll be upgrading back-null a bit. At the moment just support for Back-config, Modify-Increment Extension and empty rootpw.

Maybe grow it to a useful template of a nontrivial backend later (after I learn how to write that), with access control, referrals, various extensions... Might be almost-unused and thus subject to code rot, but less so than documentation of the backend API.

However I imagine that could slow it down somewhat, so it might become less useful when used to benchmark backends. (E.g. if you run a test with some backend, then with back-null, diff the time to see how much was spent in the backend.)

I don't believe back-null should ever handle access controls or referrals. It shouldn't have any config options at all, really. Create some other backend if you want a dummy template that shows how all the other APIs are tied in.
