I'm greatly perplexed by the thought of someone re-inventing the wheel for
anything other than pure entertainment. Given Reed's list of shortcomings
of Marion there is only one plausible reason I have heard to continue using
it - that it uses Interbase as a storage system. Even that reason is not a
very good one, IMHO.

Shouldn't we focus our attention and energy on the main task at hand, that
of ensuring that Interbase 6.0 is released promptly and maintained adequately?
