There are a lot of similarities in the growth of MySQL, PHP, and even Perl.
All there were (and still are): (1) easy to get started with (low barriers to entry) (2) made simple things easy (3) made hard things possible (4) worked out of the box with little tweaking (5) grew with the user None of the concerned themselves with standards or academically correct ways of solving a particular problem. All of them build on the experiences of the past and tools their creators had used (C, Unix, awk/sed/grep, etc.) I don't worry much about #4 or #5 changing with Drizzle. But keep 1-3 in mind when making decisions about "reasonable defaults" and which features do an don't make sense to keep or add. Thanks, Jeremy
