    Remove Berkeley DB (finally)

    Sure. But I agree with several readers of this bug that there should
    be a plan. We shouldn't kill it until the users are able to sanely
    move away from it. I doubt that will happen automatically, so
    somebody needs to organize it.

    Is there a reason against switching to this fork under the old license? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1010965

    There are still applications using bdb by default and that means there
    should be tools to read and edit them for the next years to support a migration.
