Hmmm. The only plan I had is to merge it into FB3 :-)

Generally, I support the idea to implement external adapters as
providers. And I agree with Jim that the PROVIDER clause is not
necessary in this case, the y-valve poll will find the necessary
implementation, provided that some special connection string
syntax/prefix is introduced for external connections. This way, we don't
need an external FB provider either. There are some issues how to link
internal and external (y-valve) handles to be able to deal with 2PC
transactions, but it should be solvable.
