    + running into issues due to infra problems
 
* Firebird Base driver removal (Miklos)
    + David O. asked if he can remove it
    + I guess the answer is clearly no, since the hope is that one day it'll
      replace the hsqldb Java driver by default in Base, any objections?
        + I would like to keep it too (Kendy)
        + better approach would be to improve it & fix it :-) (Kendy)
    + it's an experimental feature, should not block 64bit port (Michael S.)
        + but not to remove it (Michael S.)
    + OK to keep it (Lionel)
