== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
Server using BDB or HDB backends without modified configuration would
fail to start. See ''User Experience'' section for more information.
Is this avoidable or do you consider it desirable? Is there any harm
in shipping a default configuration that does the loadmodule for both
deprecated backends?
My guess here is that you want this to be an explicit breakage to help
users learn that the backend is no longer supported. If that's the
case, I'd like to see that spelled out in the Change.
Do any tools exist to simplify the conversion to MDB? Can this be automated?
