I'm happy to be told that bsddb is too much of a maintenance burden for Python 2.6/3.0 to have -- especially since it's gone from 3.0 now ;) -- but I don't think the arguments that *it won't matter that it's not there* have been very credible.

Not credible, not widely discussed, not tested in a beta ... No alternative provided, no deprecation period before it disappears ...
The usual deliberative process has been completely bypassed.
