Get a clue about what we are talking about, thank you.

You are ridiculous, respectless and the worst is that you do not even
help the firebird users by writing such stupid rants.

There is a difference between commenting a behavior in a not so
friendly manner and attacking person in the way you are doing it here.
Not that I care about what you think or not about me, but I'd to say
it.

Now about the two solutions, it is already decided. There will be no
firebird support for 5.3.0, door is still open for 5.3.1 obviously.
The solution #1 has been done too as well, many times.

And time for you to retire from this discussion as all you said so far
is useless. No wait, time for me to unsubscribe, easier and I have
better things to do to read your clueless rants.

Enjoy your day and weekend,
