It is not, and will not happen. Please, there was some over-enthusiasm, things
got committed to master, they were discussed and the plan was established. Do
not take every commit to the master branch as a firm, well thought out, plan.
Let's stop excoriating this transitory situation and focus on the reasonable
plan.

My current thought is: deprecation when Firebird is in good shape (cf the
tracker bug for that), and removal at least one major distro LTS cycle after
that.
<span class="quote">> --> New databases will be created with Firebird (by default?) in 6.1</span >
_If_ the Firebird driver is in a good enough shape, which we have good hope it
will be.

Yes.
<span class="quote">> - Why do we need to get rid of HSQLDB so quickly?</span >
We don't.</pre>
