Even if it is, unless it comes with bacula from bacula, there is no
guarantee that the next version of the core software will not add more
database objects with a name clash. Or change the schema in a way that
breaks your tool. Having the pieces fall in the same database that holds
my super-important backup catalog is just... like I said: !@#$ck no.
