I'm using replication and distributed transactions. Database encryption
and page integrity checks. Abusing the master election BDB
infrastructure for some evil but fun purposes. Managing databases in the
200 terabyte range. Locking & logging infrastructure to implement
application logic integrated with database operation. MVCC everywhere.

Nothing I can show you without killing you after, though.

Independently of current bsddb usage profile, current 2.6 code support
for distributed transactions and replication enables new application
uses that sqlite can't match.

Since I'm taking full responsability over bsddb both in 2.6 and 3.0, I
don't really see what the issue is. Past mistakes and maintenance
nightmares WILL NOT be repeated.
