I read the following report from the NetBSD group:
http://kerneltrap.org/node/4680
It has some interesting points. First, they analyze how the fit with
other open source database offerings. Their position is somewhat
similar to ours.
Their development style is also similar to ours.
They complain about release delays and the challenge of organizing
volunteers, just like us.
Second, they have a much more rigid hierarchy structure. There are good
and bad things about that and you can see it in the report.
Third, they admit they don't have the get*ent_r() functions we need for
thread-safety on that platform.
