If people want to choose particular database software, then this sort of
bundle isn't for them anyway.

I suspect at least 90%, and maybe even 95% of people installing Bugzilla
don't give a stuff which database it uses, they just want it to work. I
myself certainly didn't care when I started hacking on Bugzilla that it
used MySQL as opposed to PostgreSQL. I still use MySQL out of habit, but
it doesn't matter to me.
