That seems potentially pretty entertaining; Celko often pokes ridicule
on Usenet at usages of database systems that amount to using a
"sequential filesystem instead of a relational database."
I'll be very curious to hear what falls out of the MySQL track there;
it would not surprise me too much if they start deprecating MySQL in
favor of MaxDB.
Drawing Celko in would be consistent with that, and it would surely be
interesting to hear what he has to say. Also entertaining would be
C.J. Date, but that's another story...
