Drizzle project plans a stripped-down MySQL
Neil McAllister writes, "The Drizzle project, announced on Wednesday by MySQL director of architecture Brian Aker, attempts to re-invent MySQL using a micro-kernel architecture. Superfluous features will be stripped out of the database core and moved into modules, allowing users to load them or leave them as desired. Among the features marked for modularization include triggers, views, stored procedures, access control lists, and some data types."

This is exciting news. I love when applications move modular. It is so much better to have an extensible application rather than one that is a large single mass of code. This not only increases performance but it also reduces surface area for attacks.
