There is the case of packages that optionally use a db back end,
and I would argue that those may not need iuse defaults.

It could also be argued that having one backend enabled globally is good
for consistency, but that would end up leading down a bikeshed path that
I'm not sure we should go down. I'm just not sure it makes sense to
enable more than one of these backends globally.

Thoughts?
