There are no plans for anything other than msyql support. In fact, it was a 
conscious decision to standardize on 1 database to make our life easier and to 
make the user experience better. We're not SQL experts, so it makes our head 
hurt to have to manage multiple.

That said, just calling it "Database backend" could be misleading because it 
has to be a MySql database for it to work. I would vote for no combobox, b ut 
it has to be clear that it is Mysql.
