I don't know how the FDO uses that driver but I once was asked to try to setup and try the Berkeley DB with that OGR driver. Everything works just fine at that moment and I never checked that again. 

A default like you propose might be OK. The problem is if the driver becomes dependent on one or another storage, so next time a user updates GDAL their option doesn't work anymore. For us, developer, it's hard to keep track without autotests that include Berkeley DB (and FDO, I guess).

Regards,

Ivan
