setDBinit is not just for character sets. It can other SESSION variables. 
By deprecating it, you force usage of XCLASSes for such simple stuff as 
setting database-specific variablres that cannot be set in my.ini because 
they will affect all databases.

Example. Some sites could be critical, while others are not. Thus I can use 
different session parameters (timeouts, etc) for those sites. How do I do 
that without setDBinit? There is no way except for XCLASS.

-1 to deprecation of setDBinit as it is seriously lowers database tuning 
for each host.
