Yes, well, in a sense, they have already messed with it, though not explicitly, because from what I read a number of the MySQL programmers have left. This does not seem to indicate a good immediate future for MySQL whatever happens with the outcome of the Oracle acquisition. Fortunately, Bacula has a good PostgreSQL driver. With Bacula, PostgreSQL performs very well at the high end.
