True.
However, this is also going to get worse because we have a policy of
backwards compat with things like the fs until the "mythical 2.0", which
nobody seems to have any concrete idea of (IE what it would take to make
something 2.0).
This means we can't deprecate things as they fall by the wayside, even
if we had a strategy of waiting until the release was no longer
officially supported to remove the feature.
Not that i'm suggesting removing BDB right now, i'm just saying that
*even if we wanted to*, we don't have a policy about how to do it, other
than "we can't remove it until 2.0".
