This seems to serve a purpose similar to Rook [0] for deploying distributed (or non-distributed) storage systems, including database. For example, Rook can deploy CockroachDB and also Ceph, which would have a lot of the same challenges as deploying some of the databases supported by KubeDB.

Rook stretching to databases looks like a random tangent trying to do everything at once. The project should focus on being a solid distributed storage provider first and let users run databases themselves on those volumes. It's especially strange since these databases already have their own storage replication and would be duplicating work.
