I did this so that I didn't have to accidentally check-in my database.yml to git while testing bugs related to postgres. Similarly in the case we want our continuous build system to use postgres in the future to get a more realistic check, we would not be able to do so by relying on the database.yml in katello git since that points to sqlite. So this solution will remedy that issue.

Partha,

I heard that that there is only *one* mode: production that will be used.

But even not considering this: I could not get why the db settings need 
to be shifted to the katello.yml ?
(only for convenience of devel-s?)
