with the next release I will split off MDB2 into the following packages: MDB2 - 2.0.0beta4 beta

Splitting each driver out sounds like a tremendous headache for maintaining, installing, etc.

well the main advantage is in having separate release cycles and states for each driver. i think most people mostly use only 2-3 drivers. also some drivers like the ibase driver are maintained entirely by lorenzo. i am kinda hoping that one of these days someone takes over the resonsibility of the fbsql or mssql driver who are severely lacking in stability. i also forsee new drivers being added for maxdb, or maybe an additional set of drivers based on pdo. so the number of drivers could get fairly large. regards, Lukas
