Unlikely; if they are of the persuasion that relational DBs are
uninteresting, they'd hardly be spending time working on bigger and
better(?) standards for relational DBs.

"Relational databases are dead" has been a standard academic litany for
years now, but it has nothing to do with the real world AFAICS.
