Priorities - if something is a good idea, then there will be people to
support it - and do the work ;)

The addition of 'Embedded' seems to be confusing people who are just
starting to use Firebird. People who use an 'embedded' engine of some
sort now, and so are asking questions about not wanting network
connections and using mapped drives - because that is what they use now.

The CURRENT setup should be clear, but even super and classic versions
is creating problems, so adding more versions?

The point I am trying to make is probably - Can we simplify things in
the short term so we have perhaps ONE setup, which beginners can load
and learn, and leave the bells and whistles until FB2/Vulcan allows the
difficult stuff to be hidden, and options to be expanded in the config file.

MySQL seem to be creating a right mess at the moment with four internal
engines, each with different levels of capability depending on version.
We need to be out there pushing a single Firebird that trumps them :)
