I know MySQL has drunk the cool-aid with innodb, but 10 years ago their FAQ entry about why ACID was a bad idea convinced me I didn't ever want to rely on them for anything I might normally rely on a database for. I'm cool with intentionally trading off database features for other features that I value more (like availability), but I want it to be an intentional choice, and then it shouldn't still pretend to be a database for me - admit it's an unreliable data store and just use this unreliable fast thing for a cache, not as a database.
