It would be really really confusing to the endusers if MDB2 is suddenly DB. I think the issue here is mostly marketing issue.DB will stay DB. The question is just of MDB2 should become the next major version of DB (as in DB_v2)
In my opinion DB should stay as DB and MDB should stay as MDB and let the users decide which one to use.The point is that DB and MDB[2] are redundant packages with MDB only having been created with the sole intention of having MDB at some point becoming the next major version of DB. regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
