There was talk that Fedora wanted to switch to the sqlite backend. If that is preferable to ndb (and I would envision that the Fedora guys did their work on the numbers), would it not make sense to skip ndb altogether?
I doubt they ever looked at nbd - Fedora's plan to move to sqlite is much older than that. And we just as Fedora want to get rid of BDB - and the difference is that Fedora got a plan and Tumbleweed got a new backend :)
That's not even close to true. Fedora considered moving to NDB back in Fedora 24 (and later 25)[1]. The discussion that occurred on that topic[2] led to the integration of the LMDB backend[3], which was then dismissed after upstream promised to fix things for us[4] and then didn't after three years, so it's been removed[5]. The SQLite backend was developed after giving up on LMDB[6], and now Fedora is moving to SQLite in Fedora 33[7]. In conclusion, it was definitely considered, but it was rejected by the community, so Fedora went with a different option.
