No, apparently it's not; it either has happened or won't happen.
I found a thread on fb-dev that reveals at least part of the
history, especially the message by Bill Oliver of SAS:

All of the key features from Vulcan have
been front-ported to Firebird 2.5 beta.

The Vulcan is on the attic for a reason. And hence FAQ 245 should
reflect that fact, if only by pointing to that thread on Markmail.
