Fair enough, I imagine we'll still have hsqldb in 6.3 then.

Its the default for new base in 6.2 IIUC, so keeping it like that for
6.3 won't make things worse anyway I suppose.

On this, my patch at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/73610/ would
add such a link to the migration warning pointing provisionally to the
blank page 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/HowTo/MigrateFromHSQLDB
which someone else would have to fill in. Is that the sort of thing you
imagine here ?
