I think the problem here is that Borland have shut the gate
( after the horse has bolted ) and we are not going to see
their changes until they release them. So there is no way of
keeping Firebird 'In Sync'.

Personally I would rather just concentrate on Firebird and
only have one set of 'problems'. Interbase is already a
different beast so lets not waste time trying to chase it,
but rather improve on what we have.
