According to:

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/new_features_2_2.html

mod_dbd is explicitly mentioned as a new feature of 2.2
and, therefore, a compelling reason to upgrade. Either
we stop refering to mod_dbd as something special enough
to warrant special attention as a core enhancement or
we fix it so it *is* one.
