Care to elaborate? DBA wasn't intended to replace dbm, it was
thought to complement the dbm stuff. Do I need to remind you that
it was _your_ suggestion to replace dbm with DBA?

Yes, I gave some hints how DBA would need to be changed to be a
100% substitution for dbm. But no, I never said DBA wouldn't work
without these changes. In fact, it works perfectly in its current
state.
