I think their goals are for the file systems to truly be "peers". Neither
one should be considered the favored choice. I think the main thing is
not to think that FSFS is in anyway inferior to BDB. That is definitely
not the case. I suspect it will become the default file system in a
future version as it is less likely to experience problems in the hands of
inexperienced users.
FWIW, I switched all of me repositories to FSFS as soon as the 1.1 RC1
came out. I would highly recommend it to anyone that is considering it.
