There is an issue about compatibility.  That is, if one starts using
4.1, then moves to 4.4, the underlying database may not work properly as
no conversion steps are taken.  Historically, e-d-s always used 3.x (and
internal copy).  But we found we could move to 4.1, and link
dynamically.  If we were to relax the DB dependency, we would need
confirmation that we can move from 4.1 to 4.4 safely.
