If they wanted to attract the attention of the blog community then their target should have been bigtable, for example, a distributed storage system that somewhat resembles (but it's not!) a database system. But there are fewer people that have heard of bigtable so they've chosen the most prominent google internal piece of infrastructure. What a pity... ;-) The so called “database experts” (who is not an expert today? to make a living of IT you need to be an expert on something…) missed their target, I guess.
