You can't expect anyone to write upgrades for database backends
they've never used before, let alone ones like Oracle or MSSQL that
they might not even have access to.  The only sane thing is to have an
abstraction layer.  Once we have that, there's no reason in principle
that support for non-MySQL backends should ever have to break, so we
can talk about running real non-MySQL sites off trunk, or running
tests for all databases on every checkin.  That would be a really nice
step forward -- I imagine trunk is unusable for non-MySQL users as a
general rule.
