Well it might be if it did not use PDO ;)

I think that there needs to be some agreement in the PHP camp as to just
what PDO is supposed to be. People are 'developing' the generic drivers
with all sorts of new features, and then expecting PDO to support them
where in reality the feature should simply be part of PDO. AsyncQuery is
an example. It's being developed in the MySQL driver, but it's pure PHP,
so could just as easily work with any database, and even cross database
if the time was spent developing it in PDO instead ....

the PDO development list IS trying to come up with a roadmap and sort
out what needs fixing in the current version, but already there are
discussions on the side about the next version and how it should change!
