Very mixed opinions about this, I'm not a fan of BDB, but then MDB/LMDB is really meant for an OS with unified-buffer-cache, and though it works at the moment without (assuming the WRITEMAP option is used), it's not like most people working on this upstream are going to be expecting any current OS to still not have UBC. And there was the qualifying "in the current version of the library" when we asked about it .....
