NO NO NO AND NO AGAIN

* spamassassin
* postfix
* netatalk

these are only after thinking 5 seconds which *heavily* makes use of it

if it ain't broken don't break it - nobody is going to migrate his bayes 
to MySQL in case of SpamAssassin, rebuild his netatalk cnid-db or 
rewrite all his complex postfix configurations and scripts generating 
hash-tables and run postmap on them for some *political* reasons

yes, i can build libdb5 at my own - but to gain what?
