The current code is abysmal, based on terrible old code, really slow at startup etc. The new code is pretty much a rewrite which doesn't need Berkeley db. Therefore no reason to not carry it in libc itself. People will have to obsolete the nss_db package. The databases have to be re-generated, the new format is obviously not compatible.
