They tried. It didn't work for them. The alternatives they had were trying
to get SQLite fixed and delaying Akonadi for a couple years or just using
MySQL which works now. I can't really blame them for their decision, even
if it means larger dependencies than strictly necessary (but that's really
the _only_ complaint you can make about that decision). It's not like
they're requiring you to do any administration work for that MySQL
instance.
