I fully agree. As long as important bug reports concerning the Firebird
migration are still open, programmers must have the choice to use the old
database where they can be sure their applications work. After the discussions
we had a while ago, I am sure the decision to definitely migrate to Firebird
will be taken only when these bugs have been resolved, then it will be quite
safe to migrate the applications.
