Comment(by nacin):

 We're not actually setting the $wpdb variable by including wp-db.php. Most
 drop-ins won't be affected. We're improving performance by eliminating an
 open() syscall, and we're also making it easier to extend wpdb. In fact
 the only thing we're preventing is a db drop-in that defines its own wpdb,
 which is unnecessary and easily fixed.
