That "as long as" in there.

Hopefully, a non-database backend storage format will always be maintained
"as long as" there's a GnuCash.

I have always found GnuCash to be pretty good at "doing the right thing" when I
start coddling the XML directly and get it wrong.

Long may GnuCash continue to do so without the need for having to build/install
against a database layer.
