IMO, you're getting that impression because the 1% of people who have
BDB problems seem to occupy 50% of the traffic on this list. There's
already been a thread about this, with dozens and dozens of people (the
other 99%) speaking out about how they have no problems with BDB
whatsoever. Reading this list will definitely give a skewed
impression. :-)

If you ask the svn developers, I think the consensus is: if you're not
having problems, you're not likely to. There's no reasons to switch to
fsfs preemptively.

(I'm in the same boat as you, by the way. I have several BDB
repositories, but have never had any problems, and thought about
switching to fsfs... but why fix what ain't broke?)
