no doubt that it will NOT be changed in future versions.
Because there is no any reason to.
When you create database, it have cache size = 0,
so, specifying -buffers 0 at that moment is meaningless.

Moreover, specifying -buffers for the database is a admin
task only. And, it is for cases, when 2 or more databases
at the same server must have DIFFERENT cache sizes.
Otherwise, set needed cache size for all databases in firebird.conf
and forget about -buffers option.
