Changing a system query in IBO shouldn't be too difficult. While Firebird 2
is in Alpha I more or less expect that whoever wants to play with IBO and
Firebird 2 will be willing to roll up there sleeves a bit and make any
necessary modifications to IBO as things go along. Once Firebird 2 hits a
stable BETA is when I'll start taking heavy steps to having IBO ready for
all those want to BETA test it via their IBO applications.
