From PR #528 - policy around SDB.

[Andy Seaborne <an...@apache.org>]

PMC level

It is good to see contributions from Grapham Trigg to SDB.

While there is activity around SDB, I don't think the general community 
is paying much attention code-level to it.

Nowadays, I barely have an MySQL setup running, and no PostGreSQL, and 
don't use SDB for real so performance validation isn't possible.

I think we should apply PRs quite freely providing the basics of 
checking process and IP are done.

Any comments?

The project position on SDB is currently that it is discouraged for new 
applications and that problems with the module SDB would not block a 
release; it would get dropped for the release.

On that basis, I'm inclined to be quite permissive about changes to SDB. 
If someone can make something better that works for them, then merge it.

I'm not sure how many users there are and what databases they use. 
Historicially MySQL has been the most commonly used backend.

+1.

The advantage of a low-use part is that it is also low-risk to improve it.
