Actually it's not. It's about the invasiveness of *other modules* that happen to use the DBI. "Testing the database is a job for DBI and the DBD drivers, which they all do very well. So why test it all over again, at the risk of doing damage to your reputation as a good and conscientious CPAN author? There are some distributions that even test several drivers!" Tim.
