BDB is used by less important DBs right now (defaults taken from man
imapd.conf):

       annotation_db: skiplist
       duplicate_db: berkeley-nosync
       mboxlist_db: skiplist
       ptscache_db: berkeley
       quota_db: quotalegacy
       seenstate_db: skiplist
       subscription_db: flat
       tlscache_db: berkeley-nosync

But I suggest to keep status quo... and keep upstream defaults.

O.
