Hi!
ext/dba still supports Berkeley DB 2 and 3, and offers an emulation
layer for version 1 databases. However, Berkeley DB 4 has been released
in 2001, and Berkeley DB 3.3.11, the final release of the 3.XX
versions[1], has been released on 2001-07-12. It doesn't seem to make
much sense to support these old version anymore.
Unless I'm missing something, I suggest to drop support for Berkeley DB
< 4 as of PHP 7.4.0.

I think this is generally a good idea to look at such. Perhaps we
should do a larger, collective effort to get an idea of what things we
support that is way outdated and such and up our requirements at the
same time. There seems to have been a trend in that direction in the
past year or so and I think its way overdue that we begin to remove
crufts like that.

ACK.
The PHP manual says[1] that dbm is discouraged, and ndbm is
deprecated, so dropping support for these might be reasonable.
cdb(_make) support is something we might want to investigate.
