I read the whole thing so you don't have to: "It's time for us to switch to something fresher. I personally would have preferred XSLT, but QUEL is almost as good."

Ugh, April is the cruelest month for techies if only because of today.

This one actually made me smile. Probably because I just woke up and it's the first one I saw.

Would it be appropriate to flag such articles? We might be able to clean them off the front page effectively if so.

I think the most appropriate thing is to just mark as [April Fools].

Joke all you want - this just may be the kind of turn one or other DB actor on the market will take.

What sort of turn is that? Their joke talked about replacing SQL with a syntactic variant. Do you mean other elements of the lauded NoSQL? Guess what : We've had them for time eternal. SQL Server replication allows you to decouple from CAP. Lots of RDBMS solutions are shared nothing.
