Is there any reason not to use InnoDB by default?

I just noticed that $LJ::USE_INNODB isn't listed in etc/config*, doc/config*, or cgi-bin/ljdefaults.pl. Before I file a bug, a question: is there any reason why the default/initial/suggested value should remain to the current "don't use it"?

Actually I was thinking of something even stranger -- MariaDB or Drizzle. Both done by people who have been involved in the MySQL world rather intimately, and both carry a lot of that same ethos.

They're similar, especially in the case of MariaDB, but the difference is that they're still independent projects and are gaining a lot of traction in the open source world. They're not Corporate Zomg Projects.

OTOH, MySQL will work for a long time to come I bet and it's so widely supported...
