In-core database support _was_ dropped, in favor of demand-loadable 
modules. It's really nifty, as many more coders now can contribute 
without having to touch the inner workings of Nagios.

In 3.x, I expect the logging part of Nagios will go away more or less 
completely in favor of the plethora of database supporting modules that 
has already come to life.

Using some fairly obscure magic, it's also currently possible to pull 
ones configuration directly from a database. If anybody writes a module 
for this I expect config-reading will also turn into a module. Ethan can 
then focus entirely on the rulesets that dominates Nagios' behaviour, 
and development can then move forwards in quantum leaps.
