+I’m a bit fed up that I had to install `MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/>`_ on my server to have
+`Wordpress <http://wordpress.org/>`_ working, so I’ve Googled a bit to find a solution for my
+pain.  I found `this <http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Alternative_Databases>`_.  I don’t know
+when this post was written, but I think it’s a bit out of date.  I mean come on, PDO is the part
+of PHP for ages now, and they say adding a DBAL to the dependencies would be a project as large as
+(or larger than) WP itself.  Well, yes, but PHP is already a dependency, isn’t it?  Remove it
+guys, it’s too large!
+
+Okay, to be serious…  Having a heavily MySQL dependent codebase is a bad thing in my opinion, and
+changing it is no easy task.  But once it is done, it would be a child’s play to keep it up to
+date, and to port WP to other database backends.  And it would be more than enough to call it 4.0,
+and raising version numbers fast is a must nowadays (right, Firefox and Linux Kernel guys?)
