I stumbled upon a Vulcan on the attic …

http://www.ibphoenix.com/resources/documents/attic - Vulcan

Which made for some interesting reading, but then there's lots of
documents and I started wondering about the relevance of it all …

What is it? Turns out it's an FAQ I've never seen before:

http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq245/ - What is Vulcan?

The intention is to merge Firebird 2 and
Vulcan code back and create Firebird 3.

Is this what's currently happening?
