I think this ultimately needs to be left to the discretion of  
whomever's doing the work.  I mean, it's all well and good to say  
"this should really use MYSQL instead!" but unless the person saying  
this is also turning up to the discussion with a pile of patches which  
Make It So, it can only come across as carping from the back seat.
