I have to agree with Trimbach, although my original post has absolutely no intention to compare Berkeley DBMs with the "database" I mentioned. (That itself could be a very interesting topic for discussion, but that is beyond what I originally asked. Personally, I don't think it should be a surprise, nowadays, to see people differentiate Berkley DBMs from conventional databases.) It is too far from a good idea, to encourage newbies to start their database adventure with Berkeley DBMs. When you learn, you start from the point where fits with your time in the history. "no matter their obvious utility." Hm...is it not true that, at least up to this day, there are more people need database access than people who need SOAP? but yet we have SOAP modules in core. Update: See below chromatic's post for some interesting facts.
