I think you two are arguing different things.

Stuart claims that REQUIRING a database ENGINE for ANY use of gEDA is
bad for the project.

Steve claims that ALLOWING a database SCHEMA for MANY uses of gEDA is
good for the project.

I think you can both be happy with a gEDA that MAY use a database
engine, but does not NEED one.  Likewise, gEDA may ship with a
"database" which is merely a collection of CSV text files - complex
enough for simple uses yet without the dependency hell of requiring a
relational database engine.
