Not only are the developers uninterested in it, the developers actively
oppose it.  We think an embedded database library cannot be reliable
enough to meet our notion of a "database", since it would be subject to
failures anytime the surrounding application has a bug.  Keeping the
client code in a separate process is a far more robust design.
