In other words: you can use it, but you should consider moving to SQL
user management so you don't run into problems when gsec is removed.
One of the downsides of gsec is that it doesn't have support for
multiple user managers, so you can only use the user manager that is
first in the configured list. It also doesn't support some of the newer
features (like user tags). I believe there are some more downsides, but
I can't readily think of them.
Also consider this: dialect 1 has been deprecated since InterBase 6 back
at the turn of the century, and yet Firebird still supports it...
