Oh yeah ... ZODB4 and BDBStorage ... a dark chapter starting with high
hopes and ending in tragedy ... Several projects like Zope and
Subversion worked hard on a a Berkeley DB backend but in the end all
projects had the same fate.

A few years ago in Göteborg/SE during lunch Jim explained me the reasons
for the cancellation. As far as I remember the conversation he used some
words I dare not to repeat in public. Some kids may read the Python dev
list. :)
