Correction: the subversion BerkeleyDB backend is still very much alive and kicking. There were some early issues (they did things that SleepyCat told them not to do :-) but it was corrected and it's still working fine for several large users.

The BDBStorage is long gone at this point. Few are so unfortunate as to remember it (though a few who may just might be on this list). :-)
Oh yeah ... ZODB4 and BDBStorage ... a dark chapter starting with high hopes and ending in tragedy ... Several projects like Zope and Subversion worked hard on a a Berkeley DB backend but in the end all projects had the same fate.
A few years ago in Göteborg/SE during lunch Jim explained me the reasons for the cancellation. As far as I remember the conversation he used some words I dare not to repeat in public. Some kids may read the Python dev list. :)
