Since AGPL is fedora-compliant license, there's no blocker to get libdb6 into packages collection. Besides, libdb5 is still critical for many packages (like RM), until we get rid of it, I can only agree with your proposal. Maybe, it's still time to rename the current libdb => libdb5 and get newer releases named libdb starting F21
This would be possible only by co-operation with the depended packages, since they usually use "BuildRequire: libdb-devel". So after just rebuilding those to link against libdb-6, some of the packages would start to suffer from license incompatibilities. But I agree that libdb-6.x + libdb5-5.x scenario looks better than libdb-5.x + libdb6-6.x.
Anyway, to make some marketing for this change, we should have a Self contained change page for this [1]. Change Proposals Submission Deadline is 2014-04-08 btw.
