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.
