(In reply to Lionel Elie Mamane from comment #21)

Deprecation when Firebird is in good shape (cf the
tracker bug for that), and removal at least one major distro LTS cycle after
that.

  --> New databases will be created with Firebird (by default?) in 6.1

_If_ the Firebird driver is in a good enough shape, which we have good hope
it will be.

- Why keep the old data in the file?
  --> Creating a new file with just Firebird data makes more sense as the
end user is not able to recover the data!

Yes.

- Why do we need to get rid of HSQLDB so quickly?

We don't.

This would be the best solution. 

Changing step by step. Let us first try to get Firebird better working than
HSQLDB for a normal user. Do not deprecate HSQLDB before. Test the migration.
Migration has to save all: Tables, relations and views. Could be views will be
saved as queries, if code is to complicated. After this is working we should
set HSQLDB as deprecated.

I have seen the long time for getting Firebird to work in Base - experimental
since LO 4.2! We will need also time for a well working Firebird as non
experimental database.
