Brian Aker of MySQL, now Sun, appears to think so, in this interview at OSCON, Zack Urlocker reports. The interview, which Urlocker posts a video of in his blog, is conducted by Tim O’Reilly, and includes Aker and Monty Widenius, also of MySQL.

“Even Monty seemed to bristle at that. But the comment provoked quite a heated internal discussion inside of MySQL,” Urlocker explains.
