I don't appreciate having my questions passed off in this manner.

I don't recall any attempt to describe any meaningful changes in Firebird
that would cause this. I believe it is reasonable to ask for further
information on a change that would be as significant as this. If you did
and I missed it, then please do me the courtesy of repeating it.

If the Firebird team has made changes with this as a consequence then they
need to fix what they have done and you should be talking to them.
